Sterling Siren 110v

[rugratnfd2655]

Good morning all. I currently have a Sterling Fire Siren which according to the plate is a 110v Type F with a serial number of 7160. Just wondering if anyone has come across this type and any info on it would be appreciated. I thought i saw a pic of it on a brochure that it has cones connected to it. The siren is missing them, however the siren works. And is very loud. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey there!
If possible, could you upload some pictures? Also, does the ID tag say "Sterling Siren Fire Horn" or "Sterling Siren" on the upper portion? As the former is older (1915-1924) and the latter is somewhat newer (1925-?). is the advertisement below the siren mentioned?

Hmm,interesting. Is it operable? If you want to get to the motor, you need to unscrew the base bolt and unscrew the 3 screws (2 on the sides, 1 underneath the stand). Then carefully twist the motor housing off the motor.

Yes I have had back cover off to motor and YES It is operable. Fired it up one day at my house and the neighbors came out lol
