The Siren Board

Another interesting siren, the 1000 on Lincoln MS in Denver is Jailbar, but has a Black Chopper Cap, and i think it was a yellow horn with internal black paint (inside of horn). You don't see many sirens like that these days.

Speaking of weird sirens, can't forget about the Naperville Black/Chocolate 2001's along with Bowling Green's Cow-Spotted 2001's.

And again, the Square-Horned 20V2T. I spotted at least 5 out of the 50 that were made. 1 was taken down in Allen, 2 still up around KC in MO, 1 in Russiaville, and 1 that was possibly relocated in Washington, IN.

I quote from the towns with 550AT sirens thread:

Adam Pollak wrote:This one is a 550! It was in Newark, NJ. The building has since been demolished.

So is the 550 just a dual-horned single-toned version of the 550T? Or the same thing?

Therefore a single tone one should be called the 550-ST or the 550-SH.

Don't forget the Sparton (Sparks-Worthington) sirens, Denver Sirens, and "shrek" horns.

If I'm correct, there was a 500 or 550 on a building high above downtown Charlotte, NC too. And one still up in western Colorado Springs. Is the Sugar City 550 the one next to a new T-121?

My brother lives in "Uptown" Charlotte, and I took pictures of what I thought was the siren, but it was just a vent. I will take pictures of it soon, but the odds are it is just a 500. http://goo.gl/maps/HFAPS

Added to the list.

There's a Sparton siren in Sulphur, Oklahoma next to a newer STH-10, and a Darley STH-10 next to a 7V8. Both sirens are out of service but still standing.

By both, you mean the Darley & the Sparton?

Would you guys consider the Sterling 2v8 to be rare? NY is full of Sterlings and I have found only one 2v8. Not to mention nobody talks about them on here and there aren't many Youtube videos.

There are a couple in Georgia.
