Found this 4-light floodlight tower (missing one light) at an antique store yesterday. No other markings on the box - does anyone know anything about it?

Wow, and we thought it had been lifted from the Titanic site.

Nice floodlight, JNXT! Love the box for that thing. Does it still work?Anyway, here's my AOTW. A pistol case I use to carry my H0 scale trains in when I go to train shows. Even though it's made for pistols, it very good at keeping my model train stuff safe. I've got a couple of other pistol cases and two rifle cases filled with trains so I've got a pretty extensive collection of H0 scale trains.
Now I'm going to show the inside of one of the cases I have to show how much space is in it.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

Very cool truck Ray, did that start out as a walthers semi?
Also, I actually have a spare light for that light tower if you'd like to fix it up.

Nice work Ray...I'm sure your dad would be pleased.
An Athearn N scale pumper that looked too much like my dad's company back in the early 70s, I couldn't resist the clearance price...

Maybe the one I picked up was part of an old (Mantua?) set - since there's nothing else written on the box. Interesting!
And yeah it looks like it was raised from the Titanic
