This is actually a GCS Model 3. GCS Model 5s have a wider lowver louver, GCS Model 2s look similar to Fedelcode Model 2s but with a rounded top cap and they are very rare.
There are many of these GCS Model 3s in Oregon.
Thought it was a Model 2. Thank you.

Hey everyone..New member here from scenic Boonton NJ, or in siren terms, Model 5 country....(seriously they're everywhere here and are tested more than anything else :) ) This old thing pictured below is rusting away on a pole next to a large farm in my neighborhood. I've thought for some time that it's a Darley Model 2, but every time I pass by I have second thoughts, since most darleys ive seen have that "pointier" housing towards the top. Thoughts?
Actually, this is a GCS Model 2. My bad. Also, where is the location?

It isn't a model 2. The GCS Model 2 looks like the attached photo.
