just curious how old most of the model 5/7s are

[Kasey]

It depends. They were made for quite a while, so the ages can vary.

Most likely made in the 50's.

The Model 3, 5 and 7 date back pretty far. I'm not certain on a more precise date, but they definitely reach back to the 1940s, heck maybe even further into the late 30s. The Model 2 is even older.

IIRC Model X sirens date back to at least 1929, with the Model 2 being even older than that.

iirc Model 2s were produced before 1920s. And are still in production. (Not the 2T.)

I'm pretty sure the Model 2 is the oldest siren design still in production.

I believe my Model 5 was built sometime in the early 1950s when Federal Signal was still called Federal Enterprise.
