I agree with the above on it being an Erick, although I can see where you thought that it was a Decot.

Yet another one guys. This time I have no idea, I'm almost thinking custom housing for this one

Streetview link: here

Edit: check that, I have two more here. Marion County is full of surprises

This one most resembles a Federal Type B, but the housings are different. It is in amazing shape considering it's presumed shape: Type B?

I don't know what this one is either. As far as I can tell, it might be a pidgeon house. And no I'm not referring to the 2802 next to it.

Honestly streetview is far too blurry to tell, but my guess is a Mars or Federal horizontal that's partially missing.

In google earth the view is ripped, so to even get a view of it I had to use maps.

I would probably agree with that, but I've been here between the Mars and Federal before (a couple of pages back). I suppose this will be an unknown for now.

All in all a good night. Found four (five if you count the one here) old and rarer sirens between Marion and Dickinson Counties. The ones you helped me with, an FS 2001SRN Roundback in Abilene, and a Whelen WPS 2016 in Enterprise.

Thank you for your help

Got another one here: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.648857, ... -cvZsQ!2e0

I'm thinking an STL but the stator size and shape makes me think someone cannibalized a 2T22

That would be a STH-10 with a bunch of missing horns. Looks like they replaced the motor too, almost looks like a single phase capacitor start baldor. That town also has a EOWS-612 on the south side of town.

This kind of looks like a model 5/7, but i'm not sure. In Atlanta Tx.

Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.
