AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I have to offer a iconic traffic signal, the Ampelmännchen from Siemens from the late 1960s-1990s, decommissioned in 1990 from the former GDR bloc. Read (Wikipedia Ampelmännchen). Designed in 1961 by East German designer and transport psychologist Karl Peglau, the Ampelmännchen remained in use even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, becoming over the years a cult object and tourist attraction. Power cable 5 m with switch - green-red. Two mounting brackets. The lights, for their years and use, are in good condition with minimal signs of age, they have scratches, discoloration, wear, other paint; see photos. Remember that the lights were exposed to weather conditions. Please view the photos before bidding for your own assessment. In the last photo shown, a small crack of the roof. To reduce shipping costs, two roofs were dismantled. Easy installation. Ready to use with new wiring and with bulbs.

Height: 63 cm
width 27 cm
Depth 47 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.
