Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.

Does anyone have an idea if this is a siren? It's in Williamson, GA on the water tower. If you look at it from here, it looks like it has a fedelcode top part or something. If it's even anything, I'm not 100% on. If I were to take a blunt guess, I'd say it is a Darley.

Well, if it is a siren, why is it mounted on top of the watertower? Shouldn't it be next to the watertower (it appears to be the type without legs)?
But anyway, it kind of looks like a Sterling Y-10 that someone turned on its side.

There are some sirens mounted on water towers. There's a WS-1000 in Covington, GA that's on top of a water tower.

Personally, I think it's a Darley Champion.

I've only seen a few sirens mounted directly on top of a watertower.

It could also be another Sterling vertical model.

I found this in Aragon, GA next to the city hall. Does anyone have any idea what kind of horn set this is?

Congratulations on your 700th post!

To me, it looks like some homebrew horn or speaker set.

I have a skeptical feeling this has been posted, but it's in Climax, GA on the water tower.

Judging by this view here, it looks like a Federal Model 3 with some sort of fabricated top cover. Hard to say for sure though, might have to make a detour to go check it out next time we're headed down to the PCB area.

I had a feeling it was a 3 judging by the size of it. One of my friends thinks it's a 5 or a 7.
