AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I have an iconic traffic signal, the Ampelmännchen, from the 1969–1990s, retired from service in 1990 from the former GDR. 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 a tourist attraction). Power cable 4.5 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 wear, having minimal scratches, discoloration; see photos. Please note 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 have been unscrewed. Easy to install. Ready to use with LED bulbs.
Height 71 cm
Width 25 cm
Depth 47 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, or Belarus – not possible.
