I just looked up #92 and #214, totally different. These models have a round base and a hanging bell.
Mine is still a mystery, I still can't find one like it anywhere on line.

Here are some AF switch towers that went for auction. One looks just like yours, and another has a round base. I believe the one with the round base is a #239.

Actually, the early 214 New Switchtowers had round bases and looked exactly like the 92 Switchtowers, but had lights in them and punched out windows. Lionelski's switchtower is a late variation 214, which has the square base and different mast/pole.
Flyer did not list an accessory that was numbered 239
Early 214
Greenberg's lists the following for #214
Cataloged 1934-1938
The 1934 and 1935 catalog description was different than the 1936 and later. While all used the earlier picture, the later house was like that shown in the 1936 catalog and as part of the 2004/4004 set.
Version A - 10" high, green round base with square tapering post that has small lithographed house on top. Lighted house, ladder from base to house, bell off base of house that has arm with weight.
Version B - 1936-1938, rectangular base with square post and later building with interior light.
