Anyone interested in USN collectibles?

A few years back, I was on a kick of buying salvaged USN ship items from a guy who sold them on Ebay. One of the items bought was a USN signal light. Most recently, I purchased a officers stateroom door (still mounted in metal framing). My plan was to mount the door in a future addition to the man cave I was living in, at my sisters house on Sanibel. But a lot has changed. I am no longer living in the man cave, and this time next year, I will hopefully be living in Costa Rica. I won't be taking either the signal light, or the stateroom door (plus possibly some other small articles, like an electric engine room alarm). Just wondered if anyone here might be interested in acquiring these things? I haven't decided on pricing for the signal light. Shipping would be prohibitively expensive. The light is quite heavy, as you can imagine. It is wired for 260v, I think. The bulb is gone. A replacement bulb can be procured, but I had planned to rewire the light to 110v, and put in a different socket. Never got 'round to doing that. Below is a picture of a signal light, but is NOT mine; although it looks the same. A couple years ago, I had the light soda blasted, but never repainted it. I don't have a picture of the stateroom door, but you USN types know what I am talking about.....NC
