Darley C-810 2-color signal
Darley 2 bulb 2 color signal.  Each bulb shines in all four directions, so red is on top and green on bottom facing one street and green on the top and red on the bottom for the cross street.  A two circuit controller sits on the bottom plate.  No warning when light changes, it just changes from green to red (or vice versa.)

It's mine. Took a while to restore. These signals were common when autos shared roads with horses and wagons. Probably top speed downtown was 15 MPH.

This type is no longer allowed by MUTCD, having a single bulb for both directions. BTW, nice signal collection.
