WWII U.S. Navy Signaling Searchlight

Step back in time with this incredible piece of American military history. This authentic WWII-era U.S. Navy Signaling Searchlight was manufactured in 1944 by Curtis Lighting, Inc. of Chicago and still bears its original Navy property plate (No. 62095). The heavy-duty metal housing retains its original gray finish, and the glass lens remains intact — a testament to its rugged wartime construction. Mounted on a rolling white metal tripod stand, it’s as much a striking conversation piece as it is a rare collectible. A one-of-a-kind find for history buffs, vintage collectors, and industrial décor enthusiasts alike.
