The lamplighter used this cart to maintain the
village streetlamps. He would use a long pole to
light the lamps each evening and put them out
each morning. During the day he would use the
cart to carry fuel and materials to maintain the
streetlamps. The cart may have been built by the
F.J. Aubeuf Company of Oneida, NY circa 1928.
The ladder was used to maintain the lamp at
the top of the post.
The streetlamp frame has glass panels to
protect the flame from the wind. It would be
placed on a wooden post about 8' tall.
The picture to the left shows a streetlamp on
Genesee St near the Chittenango Creek bridge.
