Mikeys Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I would like to know more about this horn and I just picked up. Any idea what vehicle it would’ve come from and what year it may be. Horn works great and is in excellent condition. I’ve done many Google searches and can’t seem to find anything about Kellogg switchboard and supply company building car horns.

rocketraider Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 May not be a car horn per se. A lot of industrial situations and maybe even ships used Klaxons for alarms. Is it a 6/12 volt horn? Very cool piece by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 It may very well be a 110volt horn. Check to see if it is marked for voltage anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Horn works great and is in excellent condition he say! Can`t belive he had tested it with 110Volt? I think he had tested it with 6 or 12 volt! https://www.google.com/search?client=avast-a-1&q=kelloggs+motor+horn+1920&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjO6sPBjrP7AhUJgosKHUIqDQ4QBSgAegQIKxAB&biw=1920&bih=937&dpr=1 Edited November 16, 2022 by Leif Holmberg (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeys Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Thank you for the reply’s. I tested it with 12 V and it worked fine. I bought it off of a guy who collected parts from ships and boats. He also had a old model a. The owner passed away and his business partner inherited his home and was selling a lot of his stuff. So he was unsure what it came off of he said possibly a model a. I was thinking more of some kind of boat since everything else was boat related. I’m working on cleaning it up just wanted to see if I could figure out what it could’ve come off of since I can’t seem to find anything online about it. There are no markings for voltage so I assumed it was a 6 V just like most other Klaxton‘s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeys Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Definitely from the Kellogg switchboard company. But I can’t seem to find anything about where they built any type of horns. I also bought this off of him which I don’t know much about. It’s a sireno possibly a siren from a fire truck or boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Test it with 6 volt if it works it is a 6 volt horn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 If Walt G sees this he may know something about the Sireno. He's in NYC/LI area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
