Can someone please identify this siren? My mind keeps telling me it's a federal signal, but I'm not sure of the model.
EDIT: Also, would this would be considered an omnidirectional, right?

Looks like a later model Type-B Dual Head to me.

That's what I thought the second I saw it, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!!!

Going through some older photos that I'm just getting around to adding to the Virginia map, and this one's got me stumped. It's one of several older sirens on Fort Eustis, and the only one that isn't Federal that I know of (outside of the 4 ADT ClearVoice arrays I've found). To me it has the lines of a Sterling K, but I can't seem to find any photos of a K-2 to compare it with, and it's too small to be a K-5. Thoughts?

I could possibly be a General Detroit Corp Siren.

I like to look at people's siren maps.. and sometimes I go to ground view to look at mystery sirens that is marked on the map, and rarily the siren is blurred out because the quality was low... but I found a better quality mystery siren. In the description of the google my maps tag, it said its a unknown CTI siren...

Also, I didn't take this pic, I got it from Google Street View.

That's exactly what it is, it's a CTI siren that we don't really have any more classification for as of yet.

This little guy turned up at the Greenwood VFC in Winchester, VA:

Not sure if it's a vent or a siren, but it looks like a siren to me, especially with the radio antenna being on the same tower. The question is, what is it?

It's definitely a siren, I can't imagine a vent floating on a tower with no ducting. It looks like maybe a B&M siren of some sort to me.

Sure does look like a model 20 with a rotten housing to me.
