I was on OH-16 in Coshocton today and look what I found:

Are these the only streetlamps like this in Ohio?
I don't think I've seen any quite like that around my area or in my travels around the state. Then again, that style is so similar to the standard cobra lights, I'm not sure I'd notice.

That's California style?
There used to be a lot of those types of posts in Mass, on the Pike and some on MDC roads; when the Lynnway was redone about 25 years ago, a ton of them were removed but one stayed in a reverse jughandle ramp; not sure if it is still around there or not.
We are talking about the posts, not the lamp head, right?
This guy: http://streetlights.tripod.com (Jeff Saltzman) might have some info on them.
Also, try another great streetlighting site:

That site is called Streetlight Heaven, created in the now-defunct Yahoo! GeoCities website creation service.
There are some on Central Avenue near I-280 here in Toledo.

This was a former & original interchange on I-280 until the mid-1980's. Lighting seems to be original as well, dating back to the late 1950's.
