Nice catch @Fatman many times sellers don't have the right knowledge of their stuff so some good deals may happen. I just had a similar opportunity in Germany on Ebay with two lamp posts described as Lionel from 1926. If the date is not bad they are definitely something else....
The first one is an IVES model, not yet received but seems in good condition, I am not sure about the paint is right or not, and the two bulbs have a more Marklin or Bing look but maybe someone knows better than me. Finding IVES pieces in the old Europe is rare so not too bad and for half the price of a simple Lionel one from the same period even if I would have preferred a Lionel one....
The second one is an American Flyer model, as the previous one not sure about the paint but for me it looks nice... even if more common than the IVES model.

Have a nice weekend, Daniel

Love those bulbs!
