Great example of early electric lighting service crossarm construction. Click onto "View Original" for a little more detail. A double-pin "break arm" bracket is seen on the left for perhaps stringing two wires to a spanwire street light or customer's premises. Telephone openwire lines upon longer crossarms atop this route are visible leading into the distance.
