i think my neighbors would hate me if i had one of those

That would make for quite an alarm clock.

I was a kid in that era and had seen one of these in a parade in Ann Arbor, MI. There were CD drills for Nuclear War back in those days, early and mid-50's. I believe that I actually heard one of these Victory Sirens, during one of these drills, testing it's effectiveness. One air-raid siren for the whole city, I think was the idea. I didn't know what a HEMI, was in those days, I was just a Kid.

One for the whole city eh? Bummer to have that thing next door.

I wish they had a small version of that for a car. I am looking for the most obnoxious horn ever made that I can carry to get the driver in front of me to wet his/her pants when they are dithering as to what a green light means.

well I don't suppose anybody will be blowing the "Victory Horn" anytime soon.

During the Cuban missle crisis in the 60's we had air raid drills every week in school and every Saturday. I can still hear that thing.

Ak- you were the prankster in the family weren't you?

It would be cool to have one of those as the alarm for a home security system.

it's automatic.

Some catalog (JC Whitney, maybe?) used to sell locomotive air horns. THAT would be fun!

Cut off by other driver....Start HEMI....Rev HEMI....Horn begins to wail 15 seconds later. Yep...the finger is much faster.

Lebenz- there you go a new career....

im looking for an old air raid siren actually.. airraidsirens.com has an ok forum but the sound clips they have are neat. i found the exact model my town in wolcott ct had.. i miss that sound... i soo want a fallout shelter sign.. im hopefully getting a working siren from a 1940's fire truck.. i cant wait for it

Aklim, I used to drive a big dump truck as a teenager. It had two big air horns on top of it and it was a blast (pardon the intended pun) to scare the crap out of people with that thing at stop lights!
