BING (GBN), Germany, circa 1920, for Spacing... - Lot 405 - 68 Art auction
BING (GBN), Germany, circa 1920, for Spacing I and II, Pretty Footbridge with 4 articulated semaphores in lithographed sheet metal pierced with multiple triangles..., and decorated with a ladder resting on one of the two beams at one of its extremities. It has under its two hand-painted bases the relief marking GBN Bavaria in a rhombus (for Bing GBN before 1928: Gebrüder Bing Nürenberg). It is interesting to note that three of the four semaphores are provided with a soquet allowing to place an electric bulb... and illustrates well the great care of the details brought to "this simple toy" by this very large German firm. Small lacks and a semaphore unsoldered ... but present! Condition of use and a weld to be provided at one of the pillars of this very fragile railway accessory... 35 cm (Lg) and 41 cm (Ht),
