Nope, Maybe there are two. Are you sure it is a cast Iron Wagon Call Gamewell? I know that the signal crew still uses police box aluminum shells fir caution lights mechinism shelters.

I think what Ron and I saw was the shell. It is being used for the traffic light housing most likely. We'll check it out in and get a pic for the board :)

By the way sorry to be so mysterious but if I told the location I think we know what might happen. Anyway Youngstown is only 35 Square miles so how hard could it be to find (ha ha)

Cast iron Citizen Call box. These were the largest of the police box series by Gamewell, also the heaviest.

This is also for sale a reproduction made of aluminum, no insides.
