Nice find! This is one of the newer Decots made between 1927 and 1940.

It seems like the rotor is missing. Still, can't argue with a find like that!

Am I the only one that notices 14 ports on the upper portion of the Stator? Looks as if it could be a 10/14 port model. ;)

I think you may have not seen a port, so it's probably a 10/15. Who knows? And where can you see the 10 port side? I can't see the other stator.

This was the type used in Seattle.

Cool sighting. It looks to me like the top rotor is there just it is missing a stator. As for the bottom I not sure if there is a rotor & stator. It is to dark to tell down the bottom of the siren.

Negative. There is no top/bottom rotor. It is one double sided one piece rotor. The stator is one piece as well.same concept as a Denver Siren. This is why some believed for a long time Denver was bought out by Decot, however Decot was using this design at the same time Hendrie and Bolthoff was producing the Denver Sirens.
