Old Riser Pole in Troy, Ohio

Old Riser Pole in Troy, Ohio
Corner of E Water St and N Walnut St, Troy, Ohio.

Old riser pole with a pothead. Glass insulators are two CD 219 Hemingray-660's and nine CD 183 Hemingray-71's. Some of the glass insulators can't be seen.

Thanks David! I shot three poles like this one and a few shorter riser poles in Troy.

That's a very nice pole there! The pothead with the three vertical terminations dates back to the early 1930s. Here's a photo of one that l found in Connecticut a while back:

Thanks! Weather was perfect, so took full advantage of shooting nearly a 100 poles. Thanks for the info.

A hundred poles? Sounds like you've got some good stuff coming up!
