Canadian CLMs are pretty rare, but there out there. The Carter styles are very hard to find especially the 20/24, only know of three and I have one.

Taking this out of the US and into Germany, many of the various versions of the HLS series sirens from Hormman have being taken down. It dout that there are any F-71s that still stand in the country, let alone in use.

I still have the Hurricane 130 and I really think that the Baxter, MN hurricane is a load of bullspit due to a large lack of proof. There's a better chance of another Hurricane being hidden in IL.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

E57 sirens are rare in the US. There was only one confirmed location here.

I have no idea which siren is the least common, but I know I've only ever seen one Federal 550T (dual-headed 500T). But that might just be me… Also, the gasoline-powered T-Bolts are rare, IMHO.

Yes, that's a real 500-lb Federal SD-10 I'm holding (braggart!)

I'd consider Whelen WS-1000s and ACA Howlers to be extremely rare.

Wasn't there an ACA Cyclone 120 around here? I remember a Youtube video of that siren but the account got deleted. I would defiantly call that rare.
