Can Anyone Figure out the Signal Stat Model Number?

Hi Folks,
I just acquired this Signal Stat teardrop light and the Model Number has been removed from the label. There is no indication of model number on the inside either. The dome is a 367. It is 2 wire so it is older Signal Stat. It rotates so not a flashing unit. What puzzles me is the magnet setup on the bottom. I thought it was after market but it is riveted into the body of the light so I am thinking it's factory? I'd appreciate the assistance!

That looks like a 382 permanent mount that somebody added a magnet to. I do not believe this magnet is factory. A magnetic mount would have been a 381 and have 3 smaller magnets recessed into the base.
This is a newer version 382 with the white plastic gear instead of a brass gear.

Thanks for the info, ( I saw your previous posts so I value your viewpoint!) but the magnet unit is riveted into the body. Is it still an aftermarket item then? I am looking to sell it, would it be better to remove the magnet? If aftermarket do you know what/whom manufactured it?

Still after market, in my opinion. I have known and collected Signal Stat lights for many years, and always received their catalogs. I never saw that magnet. Sorry, I call it as user added to a permanent mount light.
I'd leave the magnet on. You will not improve the value by removing. Not highly collectible in it's current condition, so somebody might buy it to use.
