Another interesting siren, the 1000 on Lincoln MS in Denver is Jailbar, but has a Black Chopper Cap, and i think it was a yellow horn with internal black paint (inside of horn). You don't see many sirens like that these days.

Speaking of weird sirens, can't forget about the Naperville Black/Chocolate 2001's along with Bowling Green's Cow-Spotted 2001's.

And again, the Square-Horned 20V2T. I spotted at least 5 out of the 50 that were made. 1 was taken down in Allen, 2 still up around KC in MO, 1 in Russiaville, and 1 that was possibly relocated in Washington, IN.

I quote from the towns with 550AT sirens thread:

So is the 550 just a dual-horned single-toned version of the 550T? Or the same thing?

Therefore a single tone one should be called the 550-ST or the 550-SH.

Don't forget the Sparton (Sparks-Worthington) sirens, Denver Sirens, and "shrek" horns.

If I'm correct, there was a 500 or 550 on a building high above downtown Charlotte, NC too. And one still up in western Colorado Springs. Is the Sugar City 550 the one next to a new T-121?
My brother lives in "Uptown" Charlotte, and I took pictures of what I thought was the siren, but it was just a vent. I will take pictures of it soon, but the odds are it is just a 500. http://goo.gl/maps/HFAPS

There's a Sparton siren in Sulphur, Oklahoma next to a newer STH-10, and a Darley STH-10 next to a 7V8. Both sirens are out of service but still standing.

By both, you mean the Darley & the Sparton?

Would you guys consider the Sterling 2v8 to be rare? NY is full of Sterlings and I have found only one 2v8. Not to mention nobody talks about them on here and there aren't many Youtube videos.
What happened when Napoleon went to Mt. Olive? Popeye got pissed.
