Federal Signal Model 5, or 5T depending on the rotor.

It's a FEDELCODE model 5, looks to be WWII vintage.

IT's got a slanted lower cowling. It's a Fedelcode 5. :D

I don't think Federal/Fedelcode had dual tones in the 1940's, but chances are this siren has a coding mechanism.

I believe that FEDELCODE stands for FEDeral ELectric CODEd.

How is FedelCode different from Federal Signal? What do you mean by a 'coding' mechanism?

FEDELCODE and Fed. Sig are the same company, back then Fed. Sig was Federal Electric. The coding Mechanism is a damper, it restricts airflow to the rotor, just about stopping the siren from making sound while running.
