3) Marbelite LPS-20 pedestrian signal (also came from New York City)
4) Winkomatic VI 2L AG pedestrian signal

Almost everything in my collection is controlled by my Marbelite model M-30 electro-mechanical signal controller.

Unfortunately I couldn't name the brands for anything I own (and am unable to check any of them) but I have:
(3) 8/8/8 yellow signals (2 plastic, 1 metal), obtained the 2 plastic models from here in Longmont, Colorado. The metal model is set up on a pole in my backyard and got swallowed up by pine trees.
(1) 12/8/8 yellow signal with span wire attachment, obtained in Longmont
(1) 12/12/12 black signal, obtained from a museum in Jacksonville, Florida
(1) LED pedestrian signal (originated somewhere in the Denver area, used to belong to Lil'Cinnamon)
(1) 12" housing unit with a red turn plastic lens, obtained in Longmont
A full set of 8" plastic arrow lenses, obtained with the above
...and I think that's it.
