Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards Sterling, but I can't find any reference photos that match up exactly... Thanks for your time and expertise!

This one is a Federal Electric Type B from 1927-1939. The projectors were directional in an attempt to improve sound coverage. It looks a bit chewed up.

Thanks SuperBanshee!

After submitting this yesterday I spent some time looking through older posts in this thread and arrived at the same conclusion. This board is a great resource - thank you for sharing your expertise!

Over the next few years I will be removing (replacing) many of our sirens and I'm working on getting weights and heights in order to logistically accomplish the operation.

I'm hoping that several of our old sirens may end up finding new life with enthusiasts such as those on this site - certainly more information to follow on the appropriate boards/threads.

Screamer.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.
