Globe Post The Globe Post from Heritage embodies the early 18th-century styling of London’s first street lights. The round glass globe, protected by a rugged wire “cage,” is its particularly distinguishing feature.
(Standard socket–Lge chimney bulb suggested, 75 or 100W.) Eight years ago we built a house here in
New London . . . the crowning glory of our charming
house is the large globe Heritage Lantern by the front door . . .

York Post York, just a stone’s throw from Yarmouth, is one of the oldest townships in Maine. In honor of our “neighbor” we’ve named this post lamp “The York.” A combination of traditional styling and clean lines defines this handsome lamp. The simple ribbing on the crown adds just the touch needed to complement the basic fixture.
(Standard socket, up to 150W.) Note: The York Post can be adapted for gas usage. (Additional charge.)
I am familiar with your products and find
them to be a source of tremendous pleasure. A lantern I purchased from
you and gave to my Aunt never ceases to impress me when I drive up to
her home. It gets even more beautiful as it weathers. |

Marston Post Heritage’s new Marston Post has the same handsome, heroic character of the famous Yarmouth Ships’ captain it was named after! The new Marston Post is similar to the Provincial, but has a solid top, with decorative oval holes around the cupola. Like every town in America, North Yarmouth has its own heroes. Levi Marston, born in North Yarmouth in 1816, went to sea as a boy of fourteen. Starting out as a lowly galley boy, he learned his seafaring skills over the course of years, apprenticing himself as a seaman, a first mate, and finally ending up with his own command. In November of 1851, during a wicked storm on a trans-Atlantic voyage from Bordeaux to New York, Captain Marston encountered the English ship The Unicorn, disabled and sinking fast. In high, rough seas Captain Marston was able to save over 300 passengers from the sinking vessel, safely transporting them to their New York destination. For his act of bravery and heroism, Levi Marston was decorated by Queen Victoria!
(Candelabra sockets, up to 60W each.)

Boston Post This post light, which was designed and patented in 1865 by Jonathan Biggs, a Boston lampmaker, has become the classic post light for street lighting use. Literally hundreds of them can be found today adorning the streets of Boston’s Back Bay and Beacon Hill sections, in their original gas light application, and hundreds more in Boston’s North End in the more modern electrified version. This light has survived as primary street lighting because of its attractive and durable design, combining the best points of all lanterns found in this period, and with the novel and necessary addition of a steel support cradle, without which it would never have withstood New England’s winds and snowstorms.
(Standard socket, up to 150W.) |

English Street Light The advent of the gas-burning English Street Light around 1850 represented a significant step forward in city lighting technology. Prior to its introduction, street lighting was accomplished with kerosene-fueled post lights requiring considerable maintenance. Those were the days when the “little old lamplighter” made his tour at dusk, individually lighting each lamp and again extinguishing each lamp at daybreak. Daylight hours were spent filling the fonts with kerosene, trimming wicks, and the ever-present task of cleaning the soot from the lamp’s glass panels. Kerosene, unlike gas, was not a clean-burning fuel. The key that permitted replacing kerosene with gas-burning street lights was the progress (though still primitive by today’s standards) in producing and transmitting natural gas from its source to the cities. These extremely reliable and relatively maintenance-free lights illuminated English cities for over half a century until electrical lighting became practical.
(Standard base socket up to 150W.) Note: The English Street Light can be adapted for gas usage. (Additional charge.)

Heritage Cedar Post Our cedar post, grown and shaped in the State of Maine, weathers to a soft silver grey. The 10-foot post is drilled through the center for the electrical wiring and has a 3-inch O.D. top fitter, and a wire exit hole on the side (four feet from the bottom). Because it is natural wood, the post will crack due to the expansion and contraction that occurs with temperature and humidity changes. Most Heritage customers enjoy this naturally aged look. However, the cedar post is equally attractive stained or painted. We regret that our cedar post is not returnable. |
