Ok all you auto guys. Tell me if you've ever seen one of these! I got this back in the early 70's. Does not appear to have ever been installed in a vehicle. The wire ends were stripped back like it might have been tested. I did hook it up when I got it and it does work. Neon tube lights up red. It looks like NIB otherwise. Although one of the wires going into the light has cracked insulation from age. The papers show what I take to be the date. If so it's 1928. One of my old employers offered me $1,000 for it 1982. I didn't want to sell it then. Maybe I should have. Any ideas of what it's worth. I have searched everywhere online that I could think of and I find no reference to one at all. I emailed Stewart Warner but got no answer. It appears that I may have the only one out there.
Mike or Frank might like this one.
Can anyone find anything about this? Links? Value? Anything?
Nope, someone else has one. Not as nice or boxed. Dave

So the $1000.00 mark for any Auto Buff is not a bad est!
Dave, You are great! Thank you very, very much. This site is Great! I like it here!!! Don't know why I couldn't find anything. Maybe I should have Googled it. I'm going to try to attend a "Treasure hunters roadshow" coming to Visalia, CA. Holiday Inn in the next week and plan on taking it with me.
curious what you found out about the stop light you posted 2 years ago? drop me an email if you would as I'd enjoy hearing about it and what you have found. thanks. arvenica@hotmail.com
I have this exact Stewart Warner model model, brand new in the box with perfect wires. My grandfather owned the auto electric supply company in Ft. Wayne IN from the 20's through the early 80's, I also have five perfect, brand new in the box shiny black ooga horns with brackets from the 40's. Would love to know what they're worth!
I have one I just got one at a estate sale although it does not have the wire coming out of the bottom but the neon is not cracked pretty cool item
