Finally a member of the 4-way club!

Saw this on CL and decided to go for it. Definitely going to be a long-term project, and I won't rush it.

The guy I bought it from also gave me a CH 4-way bottom, I don't have a need for it now but it's cool to have.

I'll upload the higher res pictures to Flickr once its uploader stops being silly.

Hey if you have no need for that bottom, I might have a need if you decide to part with it!
Moderately inspirational message.

Great find, A.J.

Where did it originally see service? Do you know?

Nah, the guy said his father used to work on signals until he was hit by a car and ran over by another. He survived, but passed the signal through the family for around 30 years, and the guy I got it from said he just doesn't have time to restore it. Very cool guy though, glad to have met him.

Cool, that's an oldie...late 40s, I'd guess, having the door-mounted reflectors. You started out with a less common example of a 4-way for sure!

Very nice 4-way. A nice and fairly rare version of Marbelite. Nice score. :thumbsup:

What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?
