I purchased this signal three years ago here in the Seattle area. He said he bought it in California about 30 years ago. All internals are there and it lights up. The lowest square lens has the numbers 253 on it. Does anybody have an idea of were this came from? It is mounted on it's original base and is 6 feet high.
Any information would be appreciated.

I know nothing about it, but since it has no visors, it was probably meant for indoor/shed use.
I would guess it was from the Pacific Electric Railway Los Angeles subway. I believe it was not mounted to a post, but rather it bolted to the wall of the tunnel. It is a subway signal and PE was the only subway in California that used that type of signal that I can think of.
