If they were in Indiana they would be mine. He says about 50' up but not a PD, FD, or DOT Garage like I thought its a mine site.

The first one looks like cb. I have one but not where I am right now.

The 3rd looks like an Antron 99 CK that’s missing the top element.

What I see is possibly a folded dipole for Low VHF and perhaps a Phelps or Moto Station Master. Only two antennas in the link I tried to post.

The first one is a DB201 low band antenna. looks like its cut for lower portion of band somewhere in the 30-35 mhz range....
2nd one looks like a Stationmaster

Honestly don’t think the eBay one is a db201. The one I have, the main element (radiator) is double to three times longer. The one I have kicked ass on cb back in the day.

Db201 shows radiator has a larger diameter going up before folding and coming back down.

Hard to tell from the pic but not seeing that on this one.

In any event, the one I have has a rather long radiator and since these can be cut down, wonder how it would do cut for Airband.

With over 50 fire houses here that have/had lowband DB201's cut to 33.7 MHz.... that photo is most assuredly a DB201 cut for the lower portion of low band. There looks to be a missing isolator about half way down that would keep the small diameter piece away from the large diameter piece. The one I have in my garage that was a spare, the large diameter rod is only about 2 times larger than the small diameter rod. And the ground radials taper to a thinner diameter and bend like the dickens with ice on them...
