I seem to keep finding out more about these sirens. I have heard that they were actually custom built for the system of Oregon City, Oregon, and then were given out to fire stations when the system was removed, which might explain why there are more of these(6) then there are ACA sirens(4) then there are in the whole state with only 300-ish sirens. There is one in the system of John Day, which does attack for a noon blast along with a Screamer south of town. There is actually footage of the one in John Day going off, https://youtu.be/SUFLaEPVENo
it has a modified motor cover. Everybody just calls it an HOR “Paint can” or a Sterling “Paint can”.

I recently recorded the one in Rickreall doing it weekday noon blast:

It was very small, smaller than a Model 2 and also quieter. Oregon City must’ve had lots of these to get decent coverage!

Thought I should update this thread with the information I discovered a while back. See the full post in my other thread: https://www.airraidsirens.net/forums/vi ... hp?t=28682
TLDR; these sirens are E.D. Bullard co. sirens, and the smaller 9-port ones are the 3H27. I’m guessing the 3 means horsepower, so the other pictures are likely of 5H27 or 7.5H27 sirens or something similar.
