Unusual 1915 Animated Bing Crossing Platform

$375.00

Here is an Unusual Animated Bing Crossing Platform, circa 1915. It is hand-painted tin with litho guard house. It has a wind-up mechanism that works the crossing gate and bell at intervals when activated by lever on side. It functioned when tested, but has a few issues as usual. The semaphore is a mechanical crank up early version, but we believe the correct one for this platform is a tinplate version with operating rod inside pole, so mechanism will make it raise and lower. The area that is maroon on base has been redone and the bell, though functional, is missing the top bell piece. It shows moderate play wear, and has a great look
