ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

That's what I always thought also, but an ARS member obtained two OLD model 2 sirens (4 brush motor) and they had factory housings with only two louvers. Looked like shrunk down model 5's.

I don't know if this photo has been posted before, but these 1930's San Francisco sirens appear to be the same conical-rotor sirens as we've seen before, but with a horn or venturi added.

Could it possibly be a Heath?

[Brendan W]

To me, it seems to look like one of those GE sirens that someone found a while back.

[SirenMadness]

I think the GE siren had that funky intake divided with vanes.

Was streetviewing today and wasn't sure what this was. I want to say a Sterling M but it looks square instead of circular.

And is this a 3v8, or a 5V?

[Chicagosirenhunters]

Your first I believe is a coded(?) sterling and the second is indeed a 3V8

Picked up two more:

Model 5/7 with a modified housing.

[PeachtreeSirens]

That's a Sterling K5.

I think this is a Fedelcode of some sort. Not sure what model.
