Rare purchase

Sat Nov 08, 2014 10:28 pm

I was just browsing eBay a little bit ago, and suddenly found this! It is a General Detroit Corp siren, and runs on 110volts AC. Don't know much else about it, except it will need some sheet metal work. Will post more pics when it arrives!

Could it be traced to its PayPal purchase?
