It may very well be a small Denver. If I'm correct, there where many different sizes the Hendrie and Bolthoff Company produced.
here is a small one

You talking about this dinky thing on this pole? Click for Gview.
Looks like a sterling to me, unless it's a MARS siren, but i really doubt that at this point.

edit, on second hand it's shaped like one: Another view

When I was in Monroe County today, I came across these sirens that i've never seen before.

That's a horrible pic. You can't even tell if it's a siren or not.

isint the first one a whelen WS-2000R or 400R? And the second on (just a random guess) a modified model 7?

Does that DSA rotate? Certainly looks like it...

The lights under the second siren are likely used to keep it from freezing in the winter. Those floodlights generate a lot of heat.

I don't think that's a rotating DSA. I believe it's an older ACA Alertronic.

Are ACA's supposed to have Whelen rotator bases?
I was told it's a Whelen 2000R

I'd take your word on this over mine. It just looked like an old Alertronic I've seen videos of, that's all.

videogamer, there is no need to quote pictures.
