This is an authentic 1930-1950 signal light made for the the U.S. Navy. It is in original condition with working signaling mechanism. It has the original heavy power cord which could be replaced and rewired for residential or commercial use. It freely rotates and pivots and can be removed from the original mounting bracket. The bracket has the makers name U.S. Metal Products of New York, Navy Cont. Nobs 20291, Inspected, Signaling Searchlight 97203.
It has a great industrial look that would make it a really cool display piece in a retail store or bar. Nice artifact for the nautical or Naval collector.
