Old Lamp Post Down In Columbus Park, Brooklyn

 We came across this downed lamp post in Brooklyn's Columbus Park near the Supreme Court building yesterday. According to the Brooklyn Eagle, a delivery truck related to the construction at 360 Adams Street knocked it down -- and the driver tried to flee the scene.

The lamp post and several others in the area are the double-headed type and appear to be quite old. If you click on the photo and blow it up, you'll see years worth of rust on the bottom and inside the lamp post. Anyone know when they came into the park?
