Well, I have been on kind of a Signal Stat kick lately.
I have always liked this old style strobe light, and watched this one get re-listed twice on Ebay. Third time is a charm, so I snagged it for $75.00, the only bid.
I have the identicle, non working, twin to it in Dietz, but this is an NOS SS model 309A.
The funny thing about this strobe is the dome. It has an inside verticle fresnel to disperse the light, but the inner dome has horizontal fresnel.
It makes for a very high powered flash to the front & rear, where the dome has a normal section of non-fresnel, but a very odd /off centered flash to the sides through the fresnel. (you can sub the word 'fluting" if you'd like)
It also has the heat-sink ribs for the power supply on the outside.
Kind of a neat light, and I remember the local Chrysler dealer had one on their old 1968 Dodge 300 plow truck.

A video wouldn't hurt either!
