[quote="mcha9797"]After some research I found that the D series signals started prodution around 1936 and the DT around 1952.[\quote]

There is a magazine ad announcing the new design of the DT, and I think it was published in 1950. It's probably online in the ad repository that someone in the club set up.

Very nice and I agree, green with brass hardware is classy and timeless, another reason why I chose it, too.

Thanks everyone, :hello:

I too, like the unpainted brass hardware. The painted acorn nuts will be replaced with brass when I can locate them, Lowe's, Home Depot??

Ya won't find them at the big box stores. The originals are taller! Don't think the ones at McMaster Carr are correct either. See if a member is willing to sell a set!

So if the DT started being produced in the early 50's, does anyone know when they stopped production of Art Deco signal?? The next model would be the "M"?? What year??

Cool cubed! I've never seen a better looking restore! :thumbsup:

It's hanging and connected to the Econolite F type controller!!

Now I need to work on the other two, so they can be put in a cluster. These are very cool signals, I see why everyone likes them so much!!
