Lionel Trains Semaphore Railroad Train Signal
This piece is a vintage semaphore model railroad train signal that was manufactured by Lionel Corporation of New York City, New York.
This piece is untested, but we see no reason why this shouldn’t work.
This piece is in great all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories and wear that are to be expected from age and play. This is approximately 2 ¾” L x 2 ¾” W x 15” H. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.

We sell and collect rare and unusual items that often cannot be replaced. We understand the need to pack things carefully, so we take the time to do things correctly, as there is no "Do over!" We pack and protect the items we sell, but no matter which shipping service we use, there will always be a few shipments that are damaged, no matter how well they were packaged and secured.
SHIPPING
Please note that the shipping price shown by eBay is for shipping within the United States and International shipping prices will vary. Within the United States we ship via
USPS
unless otherwise specified. We typically ship within 2 business days after payment is made and cleared. Please make sure that PayPal and eBay have your correct address and PO Box if necessary. If you are an international client please make sure we have a valid address for you in English to avoid shipping delays. We only ship to verified confirmed addresses. (US Only) Please note that the price for shipping is a calculation, if the calculation for shipping on eBay is over what we actually pay we will refund any shipping overages to you. If the eBay shipping calculation does not cover shipping we will not charge you more.
We
DO NOT
pad our shipping, the price you see is what eBay/USPS has calculated as your cost based on box size and weight.
SHIPPING INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS
If you are an International client please ask for International shipping prices before bidding/buying.
Please note that delivery times are ESTIMATES. First class international mail can take 2-6 weeks for delivery depending on delays in customs. First Class International is for items under 4lbs and under in value. There is no tracking on first class international in some places with the exception of Canada. PRIORITY MAIL international does include tracking and insurance. It is more expensive, but is the only option for shipping on items over 4 pounds or over in value.
CUSTOMS/DUTY - INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS ONLY
In January 2008, eBay issued instructions to sellers so that all buyers from outside the USA would be fully and uniformly informed regarding customs and taxes on items coming from the USA. The text and format are mandated by eBay. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up; do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not falsely lower merchandise values or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Requests to do so will be forwarded to eBay's fraud department. Our international clients are very important to us. Please let us know if you have any questions. Please also note there is no tracking on first class international mail except in Canada and a few countries in Europe.
