Good day
I have come across a pair of these turnouts, not boxed in a good working condition. How old are these turnouts and what are they worth?

These are pre-1953.
Noy worth more or less than the later ones.

They are wired and actuated differently from the later dual coil versions

The yellow wire is just for lighting the lantern, return via the track
The blue needs 24 volts. A momentary push button will do the trick, as the couiml works as a flip flop. Return also via the track

Hope this helps

Cheers
