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 gloss
black color.  Several parts were replaced with original parts  
including the lenses (will have all 4 CAUTION lenses), two
reflectors (1 was missing and 1 was broken), two doors (2 were
missing original doors), six wing bolts (was missing 6)  and
wiring 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
Corning clear bottom light lens with the Crouse-Hinds logo in
perfect condition.
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.
