The shipper will help you with the paperwork for bringing the siren into the U.S. There'll be a fee (there's always a fee) but i6t might not be too bad. As others have said, the shipping will be a female dog.

Now I am curious if it might be a HOR SuperSirex, or a Federal 550AT?

It could be a sterling, or that big B&M siren that Adam found awhile back. I forget but I was reading a post about St Louis awhile back and it featured a dual headed siren.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

Or it could be a Canadian made Carter siren. They were fairly common back in the day and their were several different companies building them out of Toronto. Thats my best guess...

Ahh yes, I know this one! Let me find a picture.

The Canadian Carter is what I call it. Many spotted around Ontario & British Columbia.

The siren shown in that map appears to be one of the 20/24 port versions, rather than the more usual 10/12. It would be interesting to see a 20/24 port model up close if that is indeed what you are getting.

Regards,
Jerry.

Could anyone advise me on some shipping companies? So far I can't find better than about $380... $260 more than what it cost me to ship something the same size from Michigan, just across the boarder.
