AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I have to offer the iconic traffic signal Ampelmännchen from the 1969-1990s, decommissioned in 1990 from the former East Germany. Read (Wikipedia Ampelmännchen) (Designed in 1961 by East German designer and transportation psychologist Karl Peglau, the Ampelmännchen remained in use even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, becoming over the years a cult object and a 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 use are in good condition with minimal signs of age, they have scratches, discoloration, see photos. Remember that the lights were exposed to weather conditions) Please view the photos before bidding for your own assessment. To reduce shipping costs, two mounting brackets have been unscrewed. Easy installation. Ready to use with LED bulbs.
Height 71 cm
Width 25 cm
Depth 46 cm
