Does anyone know what colour American streetlamps were painted in the 1930s? Thanks

Not sure about the 30’s but those you see these days in old "historical quarters" are either dark green or black... :?

Most were unpainted wood. Metal ones were often painted white or black but other colors could be found as it was a very local issue.
