Factory sealed packs from that period are extremely rare. That's what the buyer paid for. Not really for the contents. Regards Markus

Hi Tom, The SIGNALBUCH (signal - book) from 1935 says that in regular use three signs are placed at 100 m, 175 m and 250 meters before the distant - signal. If needed, up to five of these signs can be used or the distances can be varied. The sign with one stripe is placed nearest to the signal. Regards Markus
