ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

It almost looks like the WS1000, but it's odd that it only has two speakers. Perhaps it's just a church/city bell system?

And then there's this very early electronic siren of unknown manufacture:

Daniel, THANK YOU. I can't tell you how long I've spent looking for that article.

I found this in Siloam, GA. I'm going to assume it's a Model 2, but I'm not sure. Any guesses?

I've seen pictures of these before but I forget what they are. Looks too short to be a Model 3.

Part if me thinks it looks like those older model 2s with 2 louvers or those strange sirens dotted around Los Angeles.

Either a 1940's FedElCode Model 2 or an H.O.R. Siro-Drone.

Fedelcode model 2 for sure. Not too long ago a guy on the board obtained one and the tag said "Type 2". The louvers on the HOR are larger and point down at a steeper angle.

Didn't the Model 2 always have three louvers?

Didn't the Model 2 always have three louvers?

That's what I thought, too.
