Title: Can anyone identify this post-top..?
Post by: Ria on 25/08/2024 17:42:56
Hi all,

Here (https://www.google.com/maps/@52.3881495,-1.7479477,3a,15y,242.78h,94.65t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s97KPlIt_uTyj3AWAUxES9Q!2e0!5s20080901T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-4.651781768814885%26panoid%3D97KPlIt_uTyj3AWAUxES9Q%26yaw%3D242.7798313930091!7i13312!8i6656?coh=205410&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDgyMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) is an archive shot from the dreaded Goggle Streetview of a post top lantern that was once in plentiful supply in the street where my mum used to live. Not long after this 2008 image, they were all changed wholesale to what must not be named >:( :curse:

Can anyone help with identifying it, please..? I think it may be a variety of Phosco lantern, but I'm not sure :wndr:

Phosco P107 with the wide hat. I have a SOX version with a narrow hat, if you're interested to see one close up. :)

We'd very much like to see one, thanks  :bulbman:

It was extremely annoying, they replaced the entire housing estate in what must have been a very rapid blitz, I remember leaving for work one morning and when I returned that evening I thought I'd turned into the wrong street :sadbulb: :posttop:

It is on My Gallery (https://trad-lighting.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=18&pid=216), and you have commented on it in the past :wink:

That must have been annoying :sadbulb:

@ AgentHalogen_87 - Thanks for that, I didn't realise it was the same lantern. It would have been wonderful if the ones back then had been SOX :lps: :posttop: :bulbman:
