Sterling model 12..

This little peanut whistle gets a decent work out. Probably the most use it's seen in 40 plus years. The model 12 dates back to 1927. It is smaller than the #20 Sterling. The rear bearing was very dry.. Once lubricated and put back together it worked much better.

THIS is the one I was telling you about! The one my dad has hanging in his garage. This one sounds MUCH better than his tho...

@rykember11. It probably just needs some lubrication. This siren doesn't sound quite as good from the other end when your applying power?

It definitely sounds pre-1970s, that's for sure!

@lynchburgcsi57. Somewhere around 1927 it was developed. 6 volt of course.

This one is a12V.

now if only I could get these in the shape of a FedSig C6, running on 12v at 10 amps I'd have one mounted on my 1990 Pajero for a bit of fun, spinning it up to wail while speeding past churches with weddings on...
