I'd there a way to date these?

Not without a tetnus shot! After that I'd think that it's ww1 era? But I think we have some resident people with a better idea and understanding then I.

It's Federal Sign and Signal so it would be between 1955 and 1976. I haven't had the opportunity to study these yet, not sure what tags they put on them, when they went to paper.

Hey I was close wrong war but close, the reason I thought that was not knowing that timeline of the manufacturer but it looked to me like the one on that TV show of the 70's ba ba black sheep even if it was based on WW2.

I don't think they design changed at all from the 40's to the 70's.

Naah, can’t be FedSig...where’s the “electric F” In the grill?

I seem to recall WWII movie Scenes where squadrons were “scrambled“ with these. Cute liddle beggar. Nice snag there @Skulldigger!

In the Marines, these were issued out to each company as NBC alarms. They were made well into the 80's and may still be made.

I used one to sound a REACT during guard duty.
