AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I have to offer a iconic traffic signal, the Ampelmännchen, from the 1969-1990s, decommissioned in 1990 from the former East Bloc NRD. 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 cord 5 m.
The lights can be adjusted 180° from right to left. Two mounting brackets. The lights, for their age and usage, are in good condition with minimal signs of aging, they have scratches and discolorations, see photos. Remember that the lights were 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 with bulbs.

Height 71 cm
Width 25 cm
Depth 46 cm

Shipping to the Azores, Madeira, Ceuta, Melilla, Gibraltar, Virgin Islands 320 euro, Cook Islands 932 euro. I do not ship to Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Belarus - not possible
