I have a pair of semaphores which are very close to NOS that I wish to sell. However, I am not sure if they are for a split or for an oval. Hoping to sell quickly to pay off some bills. Your opinion is welcomed.

There are some numbers on the lenses VW 160-141/5
K 2693
A 6156

Many thanks,
Darrell

SWF Smooths, used after Dec '53, so not split. If they work they are probably worth $300-$350 IMO.

Thanks John Henry - After looking at them again, I can see that they are in-fact not NOS, but very lightly used. I will see if I can find a 6V battery around and test them.

Take care

What is the part number on them??

The really weird part is that there is no part number on them (anywhere). Just some of the previously mentioned numbers on the plastic lenses.

Made by SWF and also sold by SWF. Then they couldn't put VW spare numbers on.

Okay, that explains it.
Thanks.
