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.
Lights can be adjusted 180° from right to left. Two mounting brackets. The lights, given their age and use, are in very good condition with minimal signs of wear; they have scratches and discoloration, see photos. Remember that the lights have been exposed to the elements. Please view the photos before bidding for your own assessment. To reduce shipping costs, two mounting brackets were unscrewed. Easy installation. Ready to use.
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.
