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

Definitely looks like an old low-tone (8 port) Model 5/7 that's a bit, how should we say...naked? That thing is up there a good bit too, can't say I've seen a tower like that one that's as tall as it is before.

Got a good one for you guys.
Today I was up in Speculator, NY at the Charlie Johns store there. Across the street is, from what I infer, is the old fire house, since the new(er) one is down the street with the 3T22 I recorded. I want to say it is a Sterling, but I'm not sure. As far as I know, this siren is no longer active.

Looks like a Sterling Little Giant to me

[Mark N]

Could be. Never really seen one before, so I'm not sure.

To me, it looks like a Darley dual head.

To me, it looks like a Darley dual head.

Seconded, it does appear to be a Darley Champion as the stator is inside of the horn instead of being part of it. The size also helps, and the sharply flaring end of the horn rules out a Little Giant.

And yes, the dual-head ones are the actual "Champion" siren.

This one's in Elmer City, Washington. It's part of the 1950's-era flood warning system below Grand Coulee Dam, and all the others I saw there were 12-port Model 5's. This one was on an easement behind a private lot and I couldn't get any closer. A Model 3, maybe?

[Mark N]

It looks kind of like an HOR to me.

Looks more like a ghetto Model 5 to me, but it's a little hard to tell with that photo alone.
