Hi,
I was fortunate enough to pick up an interesting collection that included numerous tinplate items. Originally I thought it was just going to be some custom decorated postwar Lionel tank cars and a few prewar tinplate items. It turned out to be much more than that. More to come on those items as I get a chance to take pictures. Right now, I'm just trying to catalog what I received in this collection and some items I just can't seem to track down.
I think the red double lamp is probably Lionel but I'm not sure.
I have found the clock to be Bing but I'm trying to find a catalog or model number for it.
There are 2 different types of telegraph poles with different styles and bases but could use some help in identifying.
The street light poles are a complete mystery to me. They are marked Pat. Applied For on the bottom if that helps.
The semaphores are also stumping me. I think they are the same manufacturer since the bases and the mechanism is the same. At first I though they were American Flyer but the AF bases seem to have an extra "step" in them.
All of these are Standard Gauge.
Thanks for any help.
