Steel WWII Search and
Signal Light
Full size WWII style
signal / search light made of stainless steel mounted on a
chrome trimmed hardwood tripod.
This is the light we all
have seen in old movies and that has been used aboard naval
vessels since The First World War. They were (and
still may be to some extent) aboard navy and Merchant Marine
ships sailing in convoy or close enough to see each other.
The signalmen knew Morse
Code and would send signals back and forth from ship to
ship.
This would generally not
be seen by other ships or enemy vessels so the messages were
private.
Today we have encrypted
radio and ciphered e-mail. But the legacy of war years
signal light lives on amongst seamen world-wide.
Our search Light is made
of a heavy gage stainless steel. It swivels, tilts and has
the standard operating shutters. The shielded electric
light fixture makes it a perfect floor lamp for every
nautical decor.
Size: 72" Tall with
tripod fully extended.
Light head is 8.5" wide x
8" deep.
Your friends and family
will love it. Who can tell if just maybe you will get out
that old Morse Code book and show them how it works.
