The Siren Board

This is in Madison, Kansas, I’m not sure what it is, it looks like a Darley but it could be a Sterling.

Model B

Thank you.

Today I have found a mystery siren and I'm hoping someone can identify this siren.

(taken from my iphone)

Nobody has ever been able to identify those things. People say that they are GCS sirens, but there's many differences in the design of the housing, and its also unlikely tat a small america-based company could have their products reach Australia.

OK you guys...here's a doozy. Found today in Forman, ND. All I know is that it's dual-toned and has a LOT of ports!

Goof grief, that's a pretty beefy motor under it, too! Looks to be 20/24 port?

My money is on a Decot of some kind on account of the legs on the motor.

On the FB group we were thinking it's probably more likely to be 16/20 especially considering how similar it is to Decot Engineering prototypes.

I'm doing a Spain and Portugal siren map. These things are all over Portugal and Spain, and I don't know what they are exactly. I thought Elektror E57, but a friend said that's not what they are, and unfortunately they don't know what they are. I thought maybe a Lion King JDL, but I'm not exactly sure.
Does anyone know what these are?

Looks like an older secomak. A company called sirenco still makes sirens like that today. Not sure which it is exactly , here's a link to their website: https://sirencosirens.com/sirens/

I know of at least one Federal Signal Model 3 over in Germany, and this resembles a model 3,5, or 7 without the housing and lifting lug.

If you can get a clearer pic on the site that might help. A lot of the English style sirens look very similar, at least to an American who grew up with old thunderbolts and 2001's.
