Thoughts on these 2 pieces

[greenmonster66]

I am looking to purchase a collection and included were these 2 original lamp post lights that sat high on top of lamp posts in front of both Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium.

Both were completely restored about 5 years ago and converted with electric cord to plug in.

Has anyone ever seen these and perhaps your thoughts as far as any value in them?

Those are absolutely fantasy pieces. They are worth whatever you think they're worth.

I have a Fenway Park one on display in my hallway with a 40W led bulb in it. It's a great display piece, everyone who sees it loves it. I think I paid around $175 delivered for mine last year on eBay.

Exactly. Neither one was ever anywhere near the stadia in question.

My immediate instinct was that these are, as others said, fantasy pieces that were made in recent years to look cool in a fan's man cave or rec room, but were never used at or near Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium. Seems others agree. In describing the origin, did it seem like the seller was just offering an innocent guess or representing the descriptions as personally known fact? A little disturbing.

I saw a couple of these for sale on a local Craigslist ad where the seller purported that they were subway signals which were used within the signaling infrastructure of the NYC subway system. The units were distressed and appeared to be older in age.

As with everything in our hobby, caveat emptor. Knowledge is your best ally.

I bought my Yankee sign in the late 80's at a show---it states Parking and Yankee Stadium--lights up nicely---this is the only one I have seen with both signs--I always thought this was the real deal--it feels like cast iron---the direction signal flashes--anyway what do you guys think.
