Talking Old Rigid metal conduit service ,How about a little paint

How old is this RMC?



Looks like the wood is not going too last as long as the pipe.







Must have been fun pushing the wires into this L L..

Just a guess from the porcelain insert in the weatherhead that this is probably from the mid 50's.
