Sadly, there is barely anything known. I have done some searching, but only found 1 photo of a siren in Chula Vista.
This siren is long gone now, looking at the photo though it could just be a scream master as they came in a 2 shroud design as well. There are some other Scream Masters in the county known to have the same design.NotVoyager wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:55 amHmm. Looks like an Erick Fire Siren. The shroud and the Mount looks almost identical to it. Otherwise, it could be a Siro-drone, due to the look of one louver being bigger than the other. Or even a Modified model 3, or 2, but this cannot be sure due to it not looking like it has been cut off completely. There would be a hole in the top louver.
Is this siren still around? If it is, try get some shots of it. It would help greatly.
A WW2 siren? In San Diego? That looks like a E57 yes, but it would most likely have been mounted on a pole that came with it.. Not on a telephone pole.
Conclusion
Okay so I think it is an Erick fire siren if it is, because it mentions about a “fire station” which is what Erick Fire Sirens were for.
If it isn’t, it’s probably one of Decot Engineering Work’s One-Made sirens. They are notorious for doing that.
I know little about their CD system but apparently they had “Fedelcodes” at one point.
It is most likely a Scream Master, the angle the photo was taken at makes it looks flat. The shroud design matches exactly with a Scream Master. The GCS has also has more closely spaced shrouds.NotVoyager wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:41 pmAlso, it does not look similar to a Scream Master, due to it’s flat-topped louvers and it’s shroud looking similar to a GCS Model 3 in a whole.
