This MishMash of a siren maybe a Denver or just a siren they put together

This siren has been discussed here before. Pictured below is one of the first Denver sirens, before they grew into the standard duplex and quadruplex we are familiar with today.
The motor on the siren pictured above is way to new to be from 1915. But I can't rule out the head itself.
It is very possible what you have pictured is a denver siren. But without seeing it up close and personal, it's hard to confirm.

It's very hard to tell, the motor looks a lot like the newely mades one, with a fan on the back and fins on it, where denver (or pearse company? Heh, another mystery) have more chonker motors

Pearse company and Denver sirens are completely unrelated. Pearse Company was only Denver based.

Seems like this could easily be a Denver siren with some parts missing and a motor swap, the baseplate and stator seem to be original.
