    bickers
    (2 items)

    Dad(a railroad man) gave them to me at least 35 yrs ago. He said they were caboose lights, one has blue, other has red glass, but one says port, the other starboard which isnt rroad dialogue.
    10.5" high, 5" square except for the rounding where 4th corner would be.
    they are a tarnished brass or bronze but light weight metal

      Not having vent holes on the top and the general construction, I would say these are 1970's decor items.
