Before I got into Gas and Oil in the early 1970s I was collecting street signs, lights. This is the holy grail of traffic lights 1925 Wiley Light used in San Fransisco took me 12 years to find one, then I found several being stored I kept one! Drum rotates to Red Light and says "Stop"...100% all original restoration by Ken Burge. Additional Detail paint by Ron Stevanus. Thanks guys just love this thing!

That thing is just awesome Scott. Theres some things that some people look at and think" who would collect something like that?" This is one of those items that I cant imagine any one, any where, whose eyes wouldnt pop out and instinctively know that thats a great piece of history. Definitely museum quality piece! Thanks for giving us a look at it.

For those who haven't seen these images of such a Signal in use, in San Fran... From what I have found on the 'net; It seems that the Wiley Traffic Signal was only used in San Francisco:
