AF 207 Semaphore

Above is a signal I acquired which I believe is the 207, though it was not sold as same and is unmarked. The red glass in the green square is not connected to the signal arm, and is set separately.

It is likely made in Germany.  It appears again in the 1914 catalog, and then disappears from catalogs, no doubt as a result of cut off of imports from Germany during WWI.

Below is a closeup of the signal arm made of cast metal.

Very nice! Really a rare item, thanks for sharing your pics.

Might I suggest you also post this over on the Prewar American Flyer thread started by Northwoods?

I am envious!
