Federal Electric before 1948, it became Federal Enterprises in 1949, then FSS in 1955. I am trying to find Federal Electric or the ones that just say Federal Siren which is very early.Do you mean Federal Electric before it became the Federal Signal Corporation (i.e. timeline of all sirens manufactured before 1955?)
I am trying to research and put a timeline to Federal Electric Sirens. If you have one and can post a photo of it and (especially} the tag I would really appreciate it.

Nice ones. Does that type 2 have a light in the front?And another one for your perusal.
No just the cow grill…Nice ones. Does that type 2 have a light in the front?
Any idea on date of manufacture based on the serial #s?Nice ones. Does that type 2 have a light in the front?
I read the tag as Type Z.Nice ones. Does that type 2 have a light in the front?
Your right it is a Z, I just looked at it wrong. I'm early into the dating of these. Federal Electric tags started showing up around 1922 and I know they swapped from Type to Model before 1940 maybe as early as 1935. Not sure if I have a date on the model Z yet when it first emerged. Thought I had something on it somewhere, still looking. But we are between 1922 and 1940 so far.I read the tag as Type Z.
This is why I was thinking there was a light. This is a 1935 patent.I read the tag as Type Z.

Great, thanks. I can see how it looks like a type 2 in the photo.This is why I was thinking there was a light. This is a 1935 patent.
Thx Tony. Very interesting…I’m very lucky to have stumbled onto this siren….My thread here may be of interest to you
Federal Electric Co. Model Z Traffic Master siren (with and without light!) update 7/29/2019!
After years of searching, finding one in Tennessee that the owner refused to sell to me (despite offering it for sale...), I finally own a Model Z. I know of two versions: this style and one with a light. If anyone has any literature on this please post it.elightbars.org
