Credit to Railroader3921 for this image, but he found this thing and pictured it on the Skidmore town hall in Missouri. I'm lost as to what this could be.

Some are saying elsewhere it could be a Decot.

It looks much like Archon's 6/10 Decot, however the port ratio could be different.

It's not 6/10 but I bet it's a Decot Engineering Works because the design is ultra similar and even the motor is the same shape

I don't have any idea who made it but it looks to be 8/12. I guess that's something that can be of use.

This could either be a dual-tone siren made by Federal Signal (such as a 5T or 7T), it could be a rare Decot, or it could be something we don't even know about.

It's a Decot. Either made by Decot Machine Works, or Decot Engineering works, and looks to be maybe 8/12 port? There's a Whelen up the street unfortunately.

It actually looks to be 6/10 ports. I attempted to count one of the rows of ports and it looked to be 6 or so.

I see around 4 ports and 6 ports on the bottom and top respectively, so doubling it comes out to 8 and 12 ports.

So, it's got to be some sort of Model 5T or 7T that is a rare 8/12 port siren, unless if it's another type of siren we don't know of.

it has to be a decot, as many others have provided proof as to how it most likely is
