These two ancient things are Acme Semaphores. They were used in Hollywood and LA during the 1920s. They were referenced alot in old cartoons and pop culture, and had distinctive flags that came out that read Stop and Go. Both of these work and value anywheres from $10,000-$20,000 original. Near exact replicas have been made and for sale for companies like Walt disney for their parks. Those value only around $5,000
I rewound a couple for an old Morris Minor that had semaphore indicators. Sadly to have a current RWC the vehicle had to have flashing indicators as well, but luckily they are a straight retrofit of the taillights, and I was able to use the old semaphores as well.
They are cool to watch. People sell near identical replicas. Alot of the replica signals are sold to Disney World for their parks. Original ones in collections are worth a ton of money.
