WW II German Army Air Force - MOUNTED AIR RAID SIREN - WORKS - NICE!

Description

You are bidding on a GOOD example of WW2 German Wehrmacht / Luftwaffe Mounted Air Raid Siren!
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 NICE used condition!
Brought back by a US veteran, it still retains 95% of it's original paint and finish!
Stamped information indicates a production year of 1938.
The winding mechanism is 100% functional, and rotates smoothly, however, the volume control "slider" located on the side is missing.  Some marks, wear, and slight corrosion due to the age.
Small dent on the outer housing.
A VERY LOUD item when volume control is at the maximum.
Some breakage to the bakelite.
Features a base, so it can be mounted.
Would be a PERFECT item for any collection or display!
Please email me if you need additional photos or information.

------------------- TERMS OF SALE -----------------
Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------
Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
