Sterling Little Giant at Ames FD in Ames, NY, mounted 8 feet high, yet is active as a fire siren and possibly a nooner, photos taken 8/18/25
My mid-late 1950s Sterling F-2 which came from Wrightstown, NJ. It’s a 120v model with sleeve bearings, it is one of about 20-25 Sterling F-2s left to exist. These are built WAY better than Sentry’s F-2s.
