Mystery Signal Identification, possibly Marx?

My guess it is Marx.

Marx

That was my hunch, given the simple rugged construction. I think the bulbs are wrong though, I applied power with a 40 watt Lionel Powermax and the green bulb got hot and smoked for a moment. Though that could've been dirt on the bulb as well that caused the smoking, I need to clean it up.

If you would have taken the lamp out of its socket, you might have been able to read its part number. With that info, you could determine its operating voltage.

Looks like a Marx 404-A automatic block signal.

Marx used those bases for many different things. Don

The bulb says 14vo.2a which I'm assuming is 14 volts, 2 amps. I'm not sure if these are original or correct bulbs.

Not 2 amps, 2/10 (.2) amps. You could use 1449 bulbs.

I’ll have to order some green and red ones from the Train Tender. I have a bunch of postwar Lionel locos that need repairs so I’ll be ordering parts for those. They’re some nice ones too. I have a 671, 2035, 1666, and a Northern Pacific  Geep that all need work. 

Louie Marx used steel to make accessories long after Lionel stopped making them.  You can tell this is a Marx product by its crude looking construction.
