    Got this interesting thing at auction recently. Don't know how I could test it. Would love to know how old it is and what a fair asking price would be? Have not been able to find much on Google for this model IMG_20190620_170609674_HDR-1603x2137.jpg IMG_20190620_170617843_HDR-1603x2137.jpg IMG_20190620_170556554_HDR-1603x2137.jpg IMG_20190620_170600635_HDR-1603x2137.jpg

    Info: Eagle Signal Corporation
    Type ED9
    NO 364-941

    I looked up the patient# it comes up as a traffic signal device filed in 1922 and granted in 1932.

    It looks like someone retrofitted it, maybe to control an old traffic light or other signal, in their garage, man-cave, etc.

    You may find someone that has the box and has been looking for the electronics.

    Did the patent have an image? If so, is yours a complete match to it?

    Very limited interest. Most people know traffic lights are pure evil.
