Very nice! I have the addressable Cerberus pyro version

I agree with L&A: very nice indeed! I have Simplex & Faraday versions myself (the latter is very beat-up but it’s still cool to have & it still works great too). Definitely neat to see the changes that the Chevron went through over the years via the ones you have SpaceDust (whether it’s the lettering (“LOCAL FIRE ALARM” or just “FIRE ALARM”), lettering font, body color, handle color (on some the handle is white, on others like yours it’s red), & all the different companies that branded it).

Why would Siemens rebrand them

Well considering Siemens now owns Faraday, who in turn own S.H. Couch, the original maker of the Chevron, why not? It’s an excellent pull station design for both indoor & outdoor applications (the latter because it’s metal).

Are they still being made?

Not sure: from what I’ve read the Faraday version was made starting sometime in the 1950s (though the discontinuation date is unknown), & the Simplex version was made between 1958 & 1974.
