This is a typical old crossarm for a streetlamps line in Genoa. the lamps were series connected along the line: Note the spook in the middle. The other two insulators are type 1 VACCARI, forerunners of the UNEL B 130 of the '60s. I'm planning to restore it using the original black paint for the iron parts. All the insulators are free from spiders (and this is a good thing).
