You are bidding on a postwar Lionel #394 Rotating Beacon Tower that was cataloged from 1949 to 1953. This is the silver (aluminum) painted version that dates from the early 1950's. This unit is in excellent condition and has no problems. The surfaces still look like new and have virtually no noticeable contact marks. The metal parts are rust and corrosion-free. The top & Bottom missing (nice OB) is original and has the insert. Tested and working. Comes complete with a nice beacon.
