Hello Brandon,

I think you're right; it looks like a telegraph turn signal. Saw one in
a 54 VW Bug once. From the shape I'd say it would have to be mounted
perpendicular to the direction of travel, and probably on a flat
surface. That could make it pretty old; say the teens or twenties when
vehicles were made with lots of flat surfaces and right angles. Just a
guess.
