Hi all - Here is a view of some rare visors, I like to call them the "Tunnel - Cap" visors. I only know of a few locations,

here https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Eddystone,+PA&hl=en&ll=39.871425,-75.323617&spn=0.008514,0.016479&sll=40.195659,-74.761963&sspn=4.313119,8.4375&oq=eddy&hnear=Eddystone,+Delaware,+Pennsylvania&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=39.871442,-75.323757&panoid=aQu2KBqzIEXM0eBBiOmkMg&cbp=12,10.37,,1,-15

and here https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Wyomissing,+PA&hl=en&ll=40.337598,-75.968828&spn=0.008456,0.016479&sll=39.871441,-75.323768&sspn=0.008514,0.016479&oq=wyo,+PA&hnear=Wyomissing,+Berks,+Pennsylvania&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=40.337653,-75.968803&panoid=PLby7eX2F3d36ssuEwuyzA&cbp=12,0,,0,-22.5

Anyone else spot these anywhere? Know where they came from? They look too nice to be hommade by a distributer who just ran out of cap visors and decided to cut down some tunnels....

They look like they're 12" versions of the Marbelite fat cutaway visors... Any idea what brand the heads are?

Some also refer to these as Tunaways. But that term also is used for the seldom seen visors that are cutaway on the left and tunnel on the right or vice versa.

Some company's Poly signals cut away....

Look a lot like McCain Poly visors.

When you see strange visors in the field, don't automatically assume that they must have come from the factory that way. In West Palm Beach we sheered hundreds of tunnels to make our own version of cutaways. We used a cardboard template, marked with a magic marker, and cut them right on the fixture using an electric snip.

It was like sheering sheep!

Peek signals, not Peek visors. They look like a match to McCain visors, looking at their brochure online.

They are PEEK/TCT signals. Given that these intersections are pretty much the only ones I've ever seen with these visors, and I've traveled alot through PA, I'm going to go with them being hommade visors. And darn good ones at that :cool:
