Genuine Salvaged Brass Nautical Signal Light

This brass nautical signal light comes from old cargo ships that sailed in the mid-20th century. Made from solid marine-grade brass with a thick clear glass lens and functional brass shutters, it’s built tough for ship signalling – strong and reliable, just like the originals used for safe communication at sea.

At 2.3 kg, it has that proper heavy feel you expect from real ship equipment – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully restored in Europe, it keeps the original vintage charm but is ready for today’s use as a unique wall light.
