I remember coming across one of these lights at a scrap yard years ago, before I really got into signal collecting.

Having no idea what it was as I've never seen one before, I picked it up for a closer look. Looking back I realize that it was in great condition, but at the time I was thinking "Yuck! What a strange looking blaspheme of a traffic light!"

I literally tossed it way back into the pile of city junk and kept on digging.

More 4 way mounting hardware photos:

Here is another thread with some great photos by Ryan (Detroit_Galaxian) of a Streamline 4-way cluster with that same mounting hardware in Michigan (Did I mention these are some great quality photos?)

I can't really tell the difference between those two different cutaway visors.

I see people referring to the 'baltimore' style, which kind of confuses me, since mine came from Baltimore, and it didn't have a tunnel/cutaway mix, it was all cutaways. :scratch:
