Vintage 7-marble "cat's eye" reflector made by Arrow Safety Device Company out of Georgetown, Delaware.
This is a Model No. 74, complete with the original manufacturer stamp cast clearly into the metal faceplate.
Dating back to the 1930s–1940s, these heavy-duty units were high-end safety equipment used for early highway road markers, commercial semi-trucks, and trailers.
This specific piece features 7 vibrant green glass marbles. Under a UV blacklight (365nm/395nm), these marbles glow an intense, brilliant neon green.
Measuring approximately 3 3/4” in diameter, 1 1/2” tall including the marbles & 5” long (mounting plate)
Excellent vintage condition. All 7 glass spheres are entirely intact and securely seated in the frame. No chips, cracks, or fractures. The faceplate features the clear "ARROW" and "NO. 74" raised text. It shows an aged patina with natural surface rust and oxidation from decades of exposure. It remains uncleaned and unpainted to preserve its value.
Includes the original heavy iron mounting bar securely bolted across the back. The mounting ears are fully intact.
