Seller: curiosity-bazaar ✉️ (16,840) 100%, Location: Lancashire, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 201734720926 Vintage tinplate railway signal with light function O gauge German Marklin? (2).

Here we have a vintage tinplate double arm railway signal in O gauge with a light function that was made in Germany. It is not boxed

The signal is just stamped "Made in Germany" on the stem (see photo 4) we think it could be Marklin or similar   

It could be a pre-war item from the 1930`s there are cloth covered cables present

The signal is made from printed tinplate and is about 280mm high

It has a built in light function, sadly both bulbs are missing from the holders and the wires are not connected (see photos 5 & 6) 

I think it could be any easy task to restore the light function please look at the photos provided to decide

Looking at the signal we wonder if the lights worked from a battery that fitted into the base? (see photo 8)

Due to the method of construction the signal is a bit wobbly on its base

This is a vintage used item in fair+ condition. It has some signs of wear especially to the base that looks to have been varnished over at some point in its life

We also noticed that one signal arm is missing the green coloured filter from the end (see photo 7)   

Please look at all the 8 photos provided to view the signal up close to judge its condition for yourself

Overall a vintage & collectable tinplate O gauge signal with a light function made in Germany that needs some restoration work   

It will be sent well protected with full on-line parcel tracking provided
