I have a question. What do you think this is?



It looks like a 25 ft. parking meter.

-but seriously...I believe it might be mounted on a roof behind that pole. For the life of me I can't figure out what it would be.
(if you look closely you can see the climbing 'prongs' on each side of the pole, as well as a tiny platform directly beneath the 'mechanism' on top)

Hey ER, I believe that's an arc lamp [street light]. My step-dad, who was born in 1898, used to talk about them.
