It's just a single head Darley Champion or Sterling N5 with a custom cage over it.
This one was identified before. IIRC it was chalked up to be a Hedberg.

I doubt that is a Hedberg. The chopper design of Hedberg sirens are different, and the intake looks different. I'm pretty sure that's either a General Electric or a B&M. Most likely a General because they made weird high port ratio sirens. There is a General somewhere in CA. Marked as a Mystery Siren by the makers of the CA map, even though I told them it was a General. It's near that Model 3 with a weird bottom louver.

It doesn't look like a B&M in my opinion, but General Electric made sirens? That's news to me.

Yes. They made some sirens, most of them being insane port ratios like 16 and 20. Most were installed in CA, and most have been removed sadly. I didn't think they had Vertical sirens, but the ports look awfully like General sirens. The only siren I knew they made is a Sterling-Like single head siren. But it makes sense that they made a vertical.

Do you have any proof of General Electric actually making said sirens? This is the first time i've heard of these.
As for the weird vertical siren, I was mistaken. A while back it was identified to be a Denver siren, at least according to the letters cast into the side.

There was an Ebay listing showing a sterling-like siren. The siren was completely refurbished, and the seller posted a picture of the tag and it stated it was a General Electric siren. I found a picture of it and showed it to my friend, who told me this information because he originally found the listing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.2668339 ... 384!8i8192 Here is a General Electric siren in Two Rock, CA. I was mistaken on the vertical, thank you for clearing that up Synther.
These things are super rare and most don't know what they are or assume them to be M-3s or Type Bs. That's probably why you've never heard of one.

No, sadly I do not, as the siren was sold.

There's a button on the left side of the ebay search results page (or in the filters) to show sold listings. They do disappear after a little while, though.

I'm pretty sure it's long gone by now. A picture still exists of the siren though.
