In my past 2 years of sreetlighting, I found a few scattered fixtures among the rest that are vintage, such as:

5 OV-20s, I'll probably get three of them  ;D

More than 5 OV-14Bs, I'd be able to get only one of them.

An OV-25 Silverliner still in service, 400W HPS

5 Landmark model 25s, two of them has been replaced last fall, so only 3 left.

I mainly notice the westy OV-25s and silverliners are abundant in the older parts of town (and relamped too!) as well as vintage fluorescent gas station pole lights. I also see a bunch of 80s and 90s HPS 250w fixtures on koke mill road and wabash.

Oldest are 60s/70s small Mercury lanterns, that i dont know who made. They have few different shapes but all are the same basic construction - sheet metal top on a cast aluminum base, with clear PMMA bowl. The gear is in a gearbox at the base of the bracket

We have plenty of OV-25s, M400As and A2s (with the occasional M400), ITT/T&B/AEL 25s, and NEMAs. Many of these have clear MV lamps. I also know of two GE Form 400s that still run every night, still 400W MV with the old external ballasts.

I like my lamps thick, my ballasts heavy, and my fixtures tough.

Not a street light but a shop in town has a cryselco 4 foot fluro fitting from the 1950s probably and another fitting from the 1960s the rest are more modern  the electrical wiring in the shop I think dates back to the 1930s

General Electric M400s (In a variety of styles. Mostly on the highway.)
American Electric Lighting Series 153 (Not super common, but still a decent amount of them.)
Cooper Lighting TRU Tribute (Also very common.)
McGraw-Edison Unidoor 250 (Only a few.)
Line Materials Unistyle 250 (Just two.)
American Electric Series 25 (Only 3.)
Revere 2600s (At least 5.)

Over here there are some older post tops dating from the 60s to the 90s (wyt-ray post top, gec bathurst, gec Burnett, etc..) and a couple of 90s side entry minor road lanterns (Namley a Sylvania B2224). There are still a few mercury lit main roads around Canberra, though they're extremely rare, being found in only one area.
