That's one of the famous "Heath" sirens! Nice find!

US Motors is a very well known manufacturer of quality electric motors. They bought out Emerson. Not sure if they made the siren part though.

:O Wow a Heath siren! This is an extraordinary find! If I recall correctly, there were only two other Heath sirens that we knew of so far. There was one in Pleasanton, California that was restored and one on the San Francisco ferry building that was lost during renovations. If you don't mind me asking, where did this come from?

To all of you that posted an interest on my siren, Thank You very much. Not sure how this system works on replying back you individualy and any of you can help me reply back individualy, instead of to all I would appreciate the help. Thanks

I found this siren at an auction and I called that auction to figure out where this siren came from, they said all they found out is the guy bought with a bunch of items from a guy in Isleton, Ca. (small town along the delta in Ca.)

I thank you all for your interest and not sure what I am going to do with it.

Thank You
Belinda

As in replying individually, do you mean quoting text? Immediately left of the poster's bare username or avatar is a small picture of a quotation mark: click it and it will copy the chosen post and reference it in its own text window as part of your reply.

As for the Heath siren, what a beauty! The one in San Francisco was a two-headed behemoth, if I'm not mistaken.

I think she means private messaging. Under the profile picture, there should be a teeny tiny chat bubble next to "Contact." Then just write your message and send it. I highly suggest talking to someone with the "Siren Expert" tag under their name.
