An early New England ball signal. A fabricated red painted steel ball with provisions for hanging on a crossbar at the top and including a fabricated steel hoop, which holds an early navigation lantern. There is a nautical-style lantern that hangs of the mddle of the protective hoop that has a red fresnel globe. The lantern has seen heavy railroad service and use and is dented and repaired, but appears to be original to the assembly. This is a rare and real nice unit.
Condition: (Good).
Item Dimensions: Largest: 14" x 14" x 26".
