Re: List of very rare sirens

Can we count the Werden B115 and P127? There's only 1 115 in existence and to my knowledge all (?3?) P127's live in Ohio. While they are similar to the Banshee and Penetrator they were produced by Werden instead of ACA (similar to Darley and Federal Signal)

Also Custer Electric sirens are far and few but still in production on an as ordered basis.

Also Sparton is a company whose sirens I've seen on youtube but no one seems to acknowledge. (Models 37&38) those also seem exclusive to Ohio.

Don’t forget the Whelen WPS-4000-II. Basically it was two WPS-4008 heads on a single rotator. A bunch existed once and were mounted on trucks, if I remember correctly. Also the WPS-2500 has no confirmed units. It was a predecessor to the WPS-2700 series. Both of these sirens can most likely be found with the search feature.
Added to the list. Thanks!

They seem like P-15 re-paints.
And I might as well add Sparton to the list.

Can you add the W.S. Darley Model 5TT and 7TT? The only 7TT known to exist as far as I know is mine and 5TT's are still a rare sight. There are only 3 recordings of a 5TT on youtube.

What ever happened that Screamer 105?
Speaking of rare sirens, what about the 10/12 banshee? Do any even exist?
There was one Banshee 110 10/12 in Mason City, Iowa. According to several posts in multiple threads, it sounded terrible during its last few years of service.
There was one other Screamer 105 somewhere on top of a fire department, I believe in California?
ACA/ASC Quadren sirens are also rare.

A bit of an update, the 8 port Allertor has been removed from the list due to it being a penetrator, with an Allertor horn shoved on.

You can remove the 5TT/7TT and the WS-2500. 5TT/7TT is a Federal Signal Model 5T/7T Re-badged with a new housing by Darley, and the 2 "T"s are likely either a stamping issue or it was Darley's model of an existent siren.

The Whelen WS-2500 was never produced.

I will still consider them rare. I allow sirens that have been confirmed to exist but never produced.
