A picture of one of the first grid face bumblebolts in Columbus Ohio. The article also mentioned some of the model 2s and STL-10s.

That is flipping cool. Maybe one of my favs in this thread. Thanks for finding and sharing.

Love that Model 7. The Southern RR tourist train makes it better.

This is a birds eye view of the Neil House Hotel 1000 in Columbus Ohio. I believe the siren is just above the E in the sign as I believe I can see the blower and head.

I know, bump, but by using Vintage Aerials I was able to locate what seems to be a couple of sirens from North Anna's old system.

Here's one! Just a few months ago, I was looking at old pictures of the Police Department in Oconomowoc, WI trying to see if any of their old sirens were in any of the pictures and I came across a picture with the old, rare Codewell/Cosgrave siren in it! Check it out:
https://www.oconomowoc-wi.gov/DocumentC ... ure?bidId=

When you click this website, scroll down to page two in there, look on the right hand side, and you'll see the P.D with the Codewell/Cosgrave sitting atop it!
