Hello! I happened to spot this siren on top of the old Key Bank in Clyde, NY, and was curious if anyone could identify it. It almost looks like a FS model 500 DH-TT, but not quite. It has an eyebolt in the middle of it where it was mounted, and an antenna. Could be leftover from the Cold War, and/or might've been used to fire calls at one point. I apologize for the poor quality photos, didn't have a proper camera on hand. Thank you.
i think its a very strange vent.
It actually might be a 500-DHTT. I've checked Google Streetview a few times and it looks like there's a chopper and it also seems that it has rotated (Unless it has a broken rotator and the wind is causing it to move or the position where the photo was taken on Streetview). But I'm pretty sure it actually might be a 500.

THe proportions just look wrong to me. Another thing is I don't see the rotator tube anywhere and the dishes don't look like refined horns at all.

Looks to be in pretty rough shape. Wouldn't be surprised if the horns are rotted/beat to hell

Judging by the shape of the flared horn if it's ever a refined thing, this is no 500-DHTT. A Sterling Little Giant is also no, the pictured siren seems way bigger than that and the horn is shorter.

Saw this on Kerbal Space Program Forums today, in the Forum Games section.

Is that a kind of an onmidirectional Whelen, ACA or just a lamp post?

I don't see any controls so its probably a lamp post.

Could be, but since the 'object' is in the ghost town of Nothing, AZ, it could be a siren, but with controls stripped away.

I found this siren in Moorefield, West Virginia. It has rectangular horns and what looks like the conical top of a Model 5/7.

Yeah, I think it’s just a customized Model 5.

Thanks and interesting. Nearby Slanesville, WV has a FS STH-10 with a Model 5/7 cone hood covering the motor.
