Everyone knows that I hate Deskey lamps but these presented as sculpture. I'm OK with these but only these.

Ingenuity
From a generation of menfolk who had the ability to ideate via years of tinkering in the garage. Men who took Shop classes in high school and were challenged towards results and, as a result, had self esteem and confidence.
These men were kids who learned about mechanisms and engineering while playing with their train sets.
My dad was one of them.
On either top side of this garage rear view mirrors had been mounted to allow a view of the alley when exiting.

Pole tags
Called service tags when I was a kid. My dad worked for Southwestern Bell.
If you walk the alleys you'll see them on evey pole. The older tags are lead.
Brag: My dad was involved in the Southwestern Bell wildcat strike in history in 1963.
He carried a picket sign that read Ma Bell is a Bad Mother......
