Anyone have information on this old Wigwag stoplight?

I haven't seen one like that before, but it appears to be missing the socket, bulb, and red lens.

Yes, Tom, it is missing those items. Hoping someone on the Barn may have info. on it. Belongs to my son and I don't have my hands on it yet. Plans are to restore it. Socket and bulb should be easy enough to replace but the lens is another matter.

Make a lens from red Plexiglass sheet stock, or find a glass blower that will make you lens.

that one is very very similar in construction - note the little tabs holding the lens in just like yours and very similar wag mechanism.

.

Yes, SeaSlugs, I have one identical to the one in the ebay auction. Am anxious to see the differences between the two.

Will probably follow Bob's suggestion of making one. The beauty of this hobby is the opportunities to learn new skills.
