That's a Toshiba Siren.

I don't think there is a such thing as a Model 1.

Actually, there is a Model 1. They aren't very common though.

Correct.

There was a Federal Model 1. It had a one horsepower motor on it and came in single tone only I believe. I wish I had a picture of it, but the old Sirens-for-Cities site is gone. Perhaps Ed Wise has a picture of it?

On a semi-related note, how many different "model x" sirens are there? I've heard of 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. Were there any more?

I think this may be an early whelen?

I think it's either an ATI or Allertronic.

That's all there were. The "Model X" Family as I call them...Models 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7.

That is an early ATI. Notice how this one looks a little bit more aggressive than the current ATI. I wonder if the tones are any better?

There was also the 10 or 20hp Fedelcode shown on the previous page in addition to the ones listed above, but they are quite rare. I've only seen them briefly mentioned in Federal lit before, and there was no picture.

For some reason, that alias isn't available...
