Find of the day Federal EG 1958?

[Skulldigger]

Found this little item sitting on a shelf in one of my favorite antique shops. Federal Sign and Signal EG in 12V. The Serial is: 2L12E8. I believe this means it was made in May 1958. Interesting that the tag still says "Formerly Federal Electric Company. I wonder how long that appeared on their tags. It needs some cleaning up, but it does work. The fan scrapes a little so It needs to be aligned. Looking forward to the project. Any idea what the yellow paint would suggest as far as what it may have been mounted on?

Back in the 50s/60s that approximate shade of yellow was popular with the civil defense.

I bought one a year ago for my 57 Ford resto but didn't even think about a date code. Guess I will have to see what it says on it. May have to make a fake tag. lol
