Short Fin and Long Fin
Two different versions of the Eaglelux models made my Eagle Signal from the 1930s till the 1950s. 

The one on the left is the newer "short fin" model...notice the fins on the top and bottom are not as rounded as the long fin. This was a response to having it fit on hardware that was being standardized during the mid 1940s.

The Long Fin model does not have logos on the backside. Instead it has a metal tag riveted on the bottom. The Short Fin has "Eagle Signal" on the back of each section.

Both signals use glass lenses, cloth wiring, glass reflectors, and asbestos/cork gasketing.
