AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I have to offer a iconic traffic signal, Ampelmännchen from the 1969-1990s, decommissioned in 1990 from the former GDR block. Read (Wikipedia Ampelmännchen) (Designed in 1961 by East German transport designer and psychologist Karla Peglau, Ampelmännchen remained in use even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, gradually becoming a cult object and tourist attraction). Power cord 5m with switch - green-red.
The lights can be adjusted by 180° from right to left. Two mounting brackets. The lights are in good condition for their age and use, with minimal signs of aging such as scratches and discolorations (see photos). Remember that the lights have been exposed to weather conditions. Please review the photos before bidding for your own assessment. To reduce shipping costs, two mounting brackets have been unscrewed. Easy to install.

Height 71 cm
Width 25 cm
Depth 46 cm

Shipping to the Azores, Madeira, Ceuta, Melilla, Gibraltar, Virgin Islands costs 320 euros; Cook Islands 932 euros. I do not ship to Russia, Ukraine, Israel, or Belarus — no possibility of delivery.
