WANTED: TRAFFIC LIGHT, 2 STOP SIGNS

I’m interested in buying a Canadian traffic light (see picture for an example). Do you have one like this? Or do you know where I can get one? Yes, I know they’re on every street corner – but please don’t steal one! 😉 But seriously, I want one that’s legal and that works. I’ve checked online every day for weeks, but I haven’t seen any for sale yet.

I’m also looking for two red stop signs (see picture). They can be old, but they have to be in good condition. I’ve seen some for sale online, but they were fake, not real ones. I want “the real thing.”

You’re probably wondering why I want these things. They’re for a party, and after that, I’ll give them to my niece. She loves stuff like this.

I’ll pay a reasonable price for items in good condition. Send an email with photos, and hopefully I can give you a “green light” for a sale. 😀
