Hello all. I am once again casting out the net to see what comes back. I need help identifying something I have. Well, I know WHAT it is but I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out WHEN it's from. I have a deck mounted Navy signal lamp. To be clear, it's the kind of signaling device that you flip the shutters up and down on for ship to ship communications. The only markings on it are the GE logo in the center on the back and "U.S. NAVY TYPE 12-G-31" across the top back edge. Granted, like all things Navy, it has been painted about 1,000 times and there could be some more markings on it. Does anyone know anything about these as far as what era it may be from? Or can anyone at least point me in the right direction as to where to find some data on this? Any help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks!
