American Flyer tinplate block signals

I have a red one. Is worth a lot more or just a few pennies more? Ed P.

Dale, How about that? I just gave one away two weeks ago..LOL! As far as I can tell these are late 30's vintage. (I'll check my old catalogs) Allow me to check my sources, I may locate one for you.

Thanks Guys,I appreciate it.Will check links.

Thanks Pappy

 

The store linked above has a $20 minimum order. If I go that route I will shop for some other parts I might need.

Dale:

 

Did you ever find another source for the finial for the American Flyer signal?

 

i also need one, but can't come up with the minimum $20 order from pure trains.

 

If you decide to order from them, you can order an extra finial and I will buy it from you.

 

thanks

Pat

 

No Pat I did not.

 

In fact I was at a train show in Altoona last weekend and asked an AF parts guy there,he did not have the piece or anything for standard gauge. Perhaps I will look when/ if I go to York this Spring. By the time I buy a finial I am looking at $25 for one. I would order other things to make $20 but there is not much I can use from them

Dale:

 

I hate to ask, but I will.....

 

if you are at York and find the finials, would you pick up an extra and I will Buy it from you.  It would be greatly appreciated.   I can't find any American Flyer parts people around here.  Gone to a few shows over the past couple of months, but no Flyer parts.

 

thanks

If I find a source I will try to get an extra one or 2 if I can. In the mean time if you find a source,let me know. These finials are also use on the highway flasher.

Thanks.   If I find a source I will let you know.   I was hoping to find some at a show in Madison, Wi last month, but no luck.   Some guy had a generic brass one (fits Lionel, Flyer, etc), but no original or reproduction ones to be found.

 

Enjoy York if you go... I would like to attend some year, but it's a loooong drive from Minnesota.
