Hi everyone. Call me crazy... but I can't believe how relieved and (surprisingly) happy I am about finding the accurate semaphore for this old Bing signal house. Its been a while coming but I finally found it! These houses usually are found without their signals, as they're fairly light and easily misplaced. I'm happy to report that I've finally re-connected these two pieces to form what was originally advertised as. Call me crazy..... ha!

NICE!
Awesome @Elgaucho look's like the house, base, fence and turnstyle are in awesome condition too. Happy you were able to complete!
Love it when a plan comes together ... good job!
It is a satisfying experience to bring parts together that have been separated for a long time. Enjoy.

Wow, that is neat, condition looks great. How old is it?
Thanks everyone! I’m super excited to have been able to find the right semaphore for this house. They usually are low quality but somehow managed to find a good condition one!
I’d think, given that the base is litho and not hand painted, it’s a 1920s/30s model. Although, looking at old Bing catalogs, I see this crossing in editions as early as pre-10s. Anyone care to give me an exact range?(ha!)
Just a heads up, if anyone has any leads to old Bing windup locos, please shoot me a line! Would really love to find the right loco/tender to my two passenger cars (shown above.. House with OLD semaphore.. ha!)
Cheers!

Not to brag or anything(just kidding! ha!) but the semaphore on the crossing that’s listed in the historytoy website, is incorrect. I should submit mine now.
Yes, you're crazy...crazy like a fox. Congrats on a successful, albeit long, hunt.
