Outfitted with two tall skinny porcelain lightning arrestors atop it, this vintage pole stood in a Michigan's town centre. Also note the neat old-school electric distribution pole line construction, transformer, radial-wave incandescent span-wire street light and other utility equipment of yesteryears.

PS...The old cars, store signs and other 1940s Americana look pretty sweet too ;-)
