Looks like a sterling M10 without the little grill covering the air intakes.
It's a Federal Type B dual head like Ririe has, I believe.

I agree with Kasm- looks like that siren... but that siren sure doesn't look like my "type B" ..
Lake Grapevine Dam Siren
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:47 pm
This siren is on the Lake Grapevine Dam in Grapevine TX.
Control Box, not sure if those are pushbuttons I was not close enough to tell.
Mounted around 30 feet tall
Close Up
I have absolutely no idea what model this siren might be. I recall seeing a few pictures of similar sirens on the Siren Archive. I believe they were in Sacramento, CA.

The outline of the siren kind of looks like B&M Model 10 siren, with a custom housing. But I can't say for sure because the photos don't show alot of detail.

You can tell that thing was assembled from scratch; the top cone looks to be off an industrial chimney. Could even be a small HOR?

Yeah, the dual headed Type B doesn't look the same at all. Also I was not aware that B&M made any sirens other than a few vehicle ones and the Mobil Directo. Does anyone have any more info on their other models?Mac wrote:I agree with Kasm- looks like that siren... but that siren sure doesn't look like my "type B" ..

Any thoughts on what this old horizontal siren might be?
The photo is probably from the late twenties, sorry for the poor quality.

Speaking of Sterlings, here is what I believe is a Sterling. I have never seen one this long before, its an Eb*y photo from 1941. Anyone have any idea's?
