Who manufactured these semaphores? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

jay jayOGR Forum Member

Folks, I am basically an O- and S-Gauge guy, and have little expertise in SG, so I need some assistance in identifying the make and date of manufacture. I picked these two Standard Gauge semaphores up a couple of years ago, as part of a collection that was everything but Standard Gauge. They are unmarked. The two-blade model is 14.5 inches tall, and the single blade model is 14 inches tall. The blades are actuated by side levers at the bases, and they are wired for lighting, the bulbs being located behind the aspects. They are not Lionel, as far as I can tell, but that leaves Ives, AF, Dorfan et al. Thanks for any information you can provide!
