That looks to be a Sterling Model K with custom "horns". You can tell by the motor housing and the tall ports.

Are Sterling K's really this large? I guess I've never really seen a close up shot of one, I've always thought they were around the size of a model 2. learn something knew every day.

That's definitely a K going by the 'scalemail' look on the motor housing. Remember that there were two sizes, the K-5 and K-8. Perhaps this is an 8?

It is a Sterling K, but Hedberg had a siren with a one-piece projector much like that in the 1930's. And then there was this siren in France...

I have never seen a picture of an actual Hedberg siren.

Anyone know what this siren in the small town of Cadwell, Georgia is?

Darley 2V8? Maybe something like Hedberg? We really need more info on the (relatively) low volume companies and models...Brendan W wrote:Anyone know what this siren in the small town of Cadwell, Georgia is?

That's a Clayton Whirlwind, isn't it?
