New guy from Michigan

Hello,
My name is Brian, about a year ago I aquired a traffic light with intentions of restoring it.
I looking forward to learning about the history of these lights.

Hey, Brian. It's nice to meet you. Welcome.

What kind of traffic signal do you have?

This what I am starting out with. It has been restored before poorly. The controler needs to be replaced as the lights do not work in a sensible order.

The shades have been installed as if the light would be mounted vertical. However the it has two large holes on both ends, and my thinking it should be vertical
I would appreciate any information about what I have to work with.
What color it should be?
Should it be vertical or horizonal?
When/where what this style used?
I am curious what kind of value it has.

Welcome Brian. If you've had a signal for year and are just now getting around to it, sounds like your schedule is just like mine.
