120RIR Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I'm always excited to see period photos of odd-ball pieces of gear that might be somewhat questionable as to their vintage (WWI, Weimar, WWII). I picked up this siren about 10 years ago off either German or French Ebay and while I know there is at least one in a museum in Belgium, I was always just a little skeptical it was actually WWI. The period photo pretty much settled the question in my mind. It works like a charm and the neighbors always know when I have folks over who have never heard or seen it before. You could probably hear this thing for miles!
Chip Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Cool item Brian. It must have cost a fortune to ship!
Adler 1 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Very interesting and rare piece of history! Congratulations! Adler 1
120RIR Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Air-raids or gas, I'm sure it saw use in several situations. It is indeed a great piece although maybe it's been over 10 years. I think I got it before overseas shipping costs and transit times increased dramatically which seems to have started maybe 10-12 years ago. Any guesses as to what might be hanging off the pole in the photo? It almost looks like a cover for something.
