The street lamp reminded me of a old photo taken in front of the Lionel Irvington factory on 21st street. The photo was taken in 1925, around the time the lamp was made, although the light was first produced in 1915. In the photograph, all of the factory workers are standing in front of the main entrance of the factory. And above the factory workers, on the electrical pole, there is a street light. Is this the inspiration for the 61 and 67 street lamp? After all it is in-front of the factory’s main entrance. Just a theory...
The street lamp is circled in red:
I would guess no, since this one is on a utility pole. There were a lot of free-standing streetlights around to serve as inspiration.
