This type of siren was used to notify of any incoming air raids and attacks.Air raid sirens were installed to notify the public of incoming attacks, primarily during World War II. The loudest ever made was built by Chrysler, called the Chrysler Bell Victory Siren, which could be heard from up to 25 miles away. The three main types are mechanical, electro-mechanical, or fully electric, with mechanical designs dating back to the early 1900s.Made of bakelite, aluminum, and steel, this Air Raid Siren is in EXCELLENT used condition! Brought back by a US veteran, it still retains 98% of it's original paint and finish! Stamped information indicates a production year of 1940.
