    ORIGINAL PREWAR LIONEL 438 LIGHTED SIGNAL TOWER
    This is the version with the brick litho chimney, brass ladders and brass plate, it also has no switch knives on the back and no attachment holes.  This version is more rare than the others that do have switch knives.  Signal tower is in very good condition with no rust, if the roof had less scratches this would rate as excellent.  Tower is all original, I don't see any touch-ups.  Most of it has very little paint loss and no dents.  Brass roof has some scratches and paint loss mostly on one side.  Colors still look great.  Light works, has the original brass wiring nuts.  Beautiful example of the 438 signal tower and a nice survivor.  Message me with any questions, thanks for looking!  Combined shipping available whenever possible.
