What's wrong with going back and seeing if they're still there?

To be fair, you never mentioned anything about posting them here to show that there still there which would make anyone assume that you're posting them as new finds.

There are many Teardrops and American Gate Mechanisms in Turkey, finding them is a real pain though. They're being replaced rather quickly. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9132515 ... 312!8i6656

Are you Turkish? It's also worth pointing out they're most likely the WABCO branded teardrops.

Also, i've seen some crossings while browsing Turkey on GM which show motor bells shaped like a teardrop bell.
