A relative of mine gave me a box of Lionel 027 track, it is in decent shape, definitely usable and can be cleaned up. Even got a pair of switches and a crossover. Also in the box was a signal with red and green lamps, three binding posts for wires and a switch on the back the moves between the lamps. There is no manufacturer's mark just a "made in the USA" stamp on the front and bottom of the signal's base. My guess is it is a Marx signal but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'm including pictures and hopefully the experts here on the forum can clear up this mystery. 100_0164[1]100_0165[1]100_0167[1]100_0168[1]

If you would have taken the lamp out of its socket, you might have been able to read its part number. With that info, you could determine its operating voltage.

The bulb says 14vo.2a which I'm assuming is 14 volts, 2 amps. I'm not sure if these are original or correct bulbs.

Not 2 amps, 2/10 (.2) amps. You could use 1449 bulbs.

I’ll have to order some green and red ones from the Train Tender. I have a bunch of postwar Lionel locos that need repairs so I’ll be ordering parts for those. They’re some nice ones too. I have a 671, 2035, 1666, and a Northern Pacific  Geep that all need work.
