The only words I can find is "MADE IN U.S.A." on the base of the short, red floodlight.
The red floodlight is Marx made pre and post war. The other might be pre war (Chicago) Flyer
The red item, searchlight,was made by Marx ..and they used that base for a number of accessories.
Thank you Gene H.
Thanks Colorado Hirailer.
Hello again Gene H. Would you happen to know the number of the MARX floodlight so I can search for a lens? Thanks
MARX NO. 410 Search Light. Don
The Lionel item is a repainted 83 or 87. Prewar 1927-42
The yellow-orange mast is an American Flyer 2011 semaphore without the blade. The semaphore blade would have been riveted to the small offset arm near the top. It is prewar circa 1928.
Thank you very much Uberstationmeister.
I'm quite certain the light is Marx. I have several......somewhere
The Lionel accessory was once a #83 traffic beacon or blinker. Reproduction 'divers helmet' are available to restore if you wish.
