I couldn't really decided cuz I have some I liked...but the Westinghouse 14B is the only one with a ballast and that is original! So I will go for that!

I guess mine is my Sylvania 175w cleartop that I found at a hardware store a while back. As for the fixture I'll have to say my B2255 but honesty I had a a hard time deciding too.

I guess mine has to be the Line Material radial wave.  It's the only light I have so far that's older than I am.  :o

They want ridiculous prices for them on eBay.  Salt Lake City still has a few hundred in service.  With all this move to LEDs, maybe someone in the group might have a contact there and can save a few if they come down.

Well, both of my cobraheads are older than I am. My M400 is from 1973 and my remote ballast OV25 is from 1954. I have to say, it's close between those two, but my OV25 has a slight lead because they are very rare now especially with a photocell socket.

My 175w MV yard light made by Electripak from t he 1980s.   :MV: It Has major sentimental value since it was on a house my Dad used to live in in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the new owner gave it to me a few months ago.
