Presented are a matched set of early style lamp
navigation lights that are designed for use on an ocean going vessel. The set of three, are what is called "new/old"
stock which means they were never used in service, but were warehouse stock that only recently found their way to the
resale market.
The three lamps are top opening, Starboard, Port and Masthead running lights
manufactured by Tung Woo of Hong Kong whose products were used on ships worldwide since the 19th Century. These have had their
kerosene oil lamps removed and have been wired for household AC bulbs. The design likely dates back from the 1930's or
earlier.
The lights are most suitable for those who appreciate the cache, and character of nautical
equipment that has been designed for use at sea, and consequently shows appropriate marks of age, and minor imperfections,
all of which add to their charm.
THE MAKER: Tung Woo is an old and
respected manufacturer of navigation lights. The Both company was founded by Britishmen, when Hong Kong was a Crown Colony.
Tung Woo's operations date from the mid 1800's.
CONDITION: The set is first quality and
has wiring and a receptacle for household use installed. Plugs and bulbs need to be added. All the lens' are without

trim.
