Not sure if this is even a siren or not, but this is at the Undine FC in Bellefonte, PA which already has an SD-10. It's mounted on the roof at the front of the station inside of a rusted containment of sorts. My best guess is that if it is a siren, it would've been the predecessor to the SD-10.

That looks to be a Sterling Little Giant. Nice find.

Notice the SD-10 behind the station? Double cool find!

Interesting story here, the SD-10 used to be the siren for the other fire department in town.. the Logan and was mounted at their station. They decided to do away with siren and the Undine accepted it and placed it at their station to replace the small siren on the roof, speaking of that small siren on the roof.... I have seen it in person a number of times and here is the rub, the grill on it has the word Mars embossed into it. Way back in the day there was a siren that was known as the Mars siren by some of our board members, it looked identical to the Sterling Little Giant right down to the sheet metal except it also had Mars embossed into the end grills. I am thinking that Sterling sold some of their Little Giants to the Mars Company who rebadged them as their own which would explain the old Mars Sirens that used to get talked about a number of years ago.

Pretty sure that is a Sterling Y.

First one is a Sterling Y-10. You can tell by the long tube on the left of the siren. That is the brake assembly.

The second looks to be a Darley (?). I think this is so because of the top part of the shroud is curved... but it just doesn't look right... Also the top cover is missing, you can see the crane bracket.

Sterling Y-10. Basically a M-10 but with a brake installed.

It's a Sterling Y-10, but missing all of the covers.
