Anyone know what I have here? Looks like one is missing a wire from the base to the top. Was in with my original set from long ago.
Thank you

Loren, do you have any info on them? Like who made them. Can't find much that looks like them except some Marx that have more detail and square base. Just like researching crap like this.

I guess I need to look this stuff up. It took all of 3 minutes . The one on the left is an American Flyer #207 Single Arm Semaphore. The one on the right is an American Flyer #206 Danger Signal. Both can be seen in the 1930 catalog I posted in the link above. These were made for many years by AF prior to the Gilbert purchase.

Amflyer,
Sorry to upset you but I tried looking them up and couldn't find them. That's why I asked the forum. The only reply I saw was that they weren't s gauge, so I put in o gauge to see if someone might know
Once again, sorry

No problem, I did not realize the link did not go directly to the old catalogs. Those catalogs are worth looking at. I find that what I see sticks in my head just enough that I remember where to look the next time.
Now you know what the two accessories are and who made them.

Your welcome Tom! I don't know why there was a problem for you, didn't see any special characters I had to delete. I was surprised though when I first edited, it displayed the clintjefferies.com in the text twice so don't know if a space got in the text that caused the issue. I have seen sometimes where cut and pasting gets some weird characters that cause issues, but l didn't see any of that.

At least I was able to successfully fix it.
