Vintage Pedestrian Signal Bar Lamp  

A companion to the Traffic Signal Bar Lamp is this modern looking 16" Single-Head pedestrian signal. The exact relationship between the two, apart from their apparent identical manufacture is unknown. These lights themselves seem somewhat rare as I've seen at least five times the number of traffic lights to pedestrian lights. A small sliding switch on the base allows you to turn the lamp off, or signal that the bar is now open/closed. Ironically, while designed to look like the new single-head units popping up in cities everywhere they chose to use the classic Walk/Wait wording. This example, while in relatively pristine condition, is missing the second sign and the finial for the post top. It also exhibits a relatively strong lean on the lamppost. Whether it is from the weight of the lamp pulling it over or just a bent post is unknown.
