MY COLLECTION
My collection consists of signals from the first models  manufactured to the last models produced by the
Crouse-Hinds Company.  I restore all my signals and controllers to the original condition. If new parts are needed I
use replacement parts re manufactured to the original specifications with the correct materials. The following are
pictures of signals and controllers in my collection. Some are restored and others are still awaiting their turn.
I am currently building a museum where all of my collection will
be displayed. All of my collection will be photographed and
included on this page. This is just a sample of my collection,
more will be added soon.
My CROUSE-HINDS type TSW four way
signal. Circa 1925. Acquired in March of
2007. This signal was purchased from a
collector in Virginia. Originally in service
somewhere in New York, this signal is a
solid body cast aluminum signal. The top is
cast iron and is bolted on to the body. The
hanger is bronze. This signal has four  perfect
sets of type B "large bead smiley" lenses.
When restored this signal will be painted
black and be post mounted with a finial. The
type B lenses will be exchanged for 4 sets of
lettered prismatic lenses.
My CROUSE-HINDS TFA four
way beacon on pedestal signal.
Circa 1925. Acquired in
November of 2005. This signal
was in service in Cleveland,
Ohio. It was purchased from
an antique dealer after being
in storage for over 40 years.
The signal was disassembled,
sandblasted and painted with
the original color of gloss
black.  Several parts were
replaced with original parts  
including the lenses (will have
all 4 CAUTION lenses), two
doors (2 were missing original
doors), six wing bolts (was
missing 6)  Parts that were
replaced with reproductions
were 4 reflectors. Lancaster
Glass made 4 new glass
reflectors to match the ones
missing and broken. The
wiring was replaced with
reproduction cloth covered
wire. The base door was
repaired and all screws and
bolts were replaced with new
brass screws and bolts. This
signal still had the original
glass reflector and Corning
clear  lens with the
Crouse-Hinds logo in perfect
condition in the bottom light.
My CROUSE-HINDS TSP-11
one way , vertical  slip fitter
post mounted traffic signal.
Circa 1929. Acquired in
February of 2006 from a seller
in New Jersey. Signal has been
restored and painted green.
The only items missing when
purchased was a hood and
STOP lens. Original
replacements were found
about a year later. Signal was
disassembled, sandblasted,  
painted and reassembled. The
screws, gaskets and wiring
were replaced with
reproductions identical to the
originals. All other parts are
original. The 3 glass reflectors
are in  perfect condition.
