ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

I originally thought that too, but as I said, it's dual tone.

It definitely looks single-tone to me, as far as I can tell. I see one row of ports and an intake opening above that. I'm 95% sure that's a typical old Sterling/Darley 3V8.

Well, I see one row of ports underneath another... I definitely think its a Decot or something. Maybe my eyesight is bad.

This is a chimney, right? The listing has me confused so I’m asking here. https://www.k-bid.com/auction/30228/item/289

The seller must know what he’s talking about. I can’t imagine somebody like this would make that kind of mistake. Therefore, it must be a siren, but I’m not sure what kind.

That really looks like a vent...

That photo looks oddly familiar... I wonder why B&M called them 6GA and 10GA. Was the number ports or something?

Sorry for the bump, but I believe that is the HP of the motor, sort of like what federal did.

I am very, very sure that what you're seeing is an air intake above and a row of ports below. That siren looks exactly like an old 3V8.

Ok.
3V8 it is.

I know that is a model 5, but what is that thing above it? It looks too short and the chamber thing looks too big for a Cunningham horn or a diaphone...

Maybe a Model A or some sort of siren of the same class.

It appears to be a Little Giant.

It is single head, to my knowledge, no single head little giants were made or exist.

Maybe a Model A or some sort of siren of the same class.

I don't know... Notice how it has some sort of chamber behind the projector. The siren doesn't have an intake cone in front of the main projector. So I doubt that it is a small siren like that.
