ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

Kasm B&M made several different outdoor warning sirens, I believe the one in Texas is a B&M. That housing was not scratchbuilt either.

Also b&m did not make the Mobil directo.

Also I was not aware that B&M made any sirens other than a few vehicle ones and the Mobil Directo. Does anyone have any more info on their other models?

You're thinking B&N: Biersach and Niedermeyer.

Ah, that would be it. Does anyone have any general information on B&M then? I've never heard of them before

[holler]

B&M is a manufacturer of mechanical vehicular sirens, and they also made several models of outdoor warning sirens. A good way to tell if an outdoor siren is a B&M or not is if it has fingerguards on the stator ports. Why they put them on a siren that is going to be out of arms reach is beyond me.

Any thoughts on what this old horizontal siren might be?

The photo is probably from the late twenties, sorry for the poor quality.

Without a doubt a Sterling M series siren.

Not to be crazy with the old dual headed Type Bs, but I think this might be another. It doesn't look like the horns have a grate over them like sterlings usually do.

I have to agree with Crazywarriorman, its definatly a Sterling M.

The screens are relatively close to the edges of the speaker cells, and there are 10 speaker cells on it. That makes it a Whelen WPS-2810.

My wife spotted this siren a few days ago but I don't know what is:

Both the housing and the rotor seem to look like those of a Decot. I would love for someone to confirm this or correct me. It could also be a H.O.R, since those were quite common in both PA and NY and if you look closely, it seems that the siren has 7 ports in the visible rotor.
