Several Live Steam related photos have been posted on ebay.com by Ralston Antiques and Collectibles of Honolulu, Hawaii. Can anyone identify the who, what, where and when of the following?

It looks like Golden Gate Live Steamers. Not sure, but a lead.

Yep, Redwood park GGLS
Can't remember the name of the gentleman with the 1" Atlantic in the first pic but it ended up with Fred Hembold years later and then Don Broadhead. We got it back and sold it a few years ago.
Neat pics!

Re: Mystery Live Steam Photos
I have to “pipe up” and say among all the devices I’ve ever seen related to signaling,
the signal at the left fabricated from common pipe fittings shown in rwmorris's attached photo is one of the most robust,
simple arrangements I have ever seen related to wayside signals.
It’s obvious the device could survive a baseball bat.
And to think the economics of making it during the time period was likely “cents” and not dollars.
Very creative signal light.
