I remember gas street lights. A man came along just before dusk. He wore a uniform and had a long pole with a brass gizmo at one end. One part of the gizmo had a flame and the other a hook device. He inserted the pole into a glass trapdoor in the lamp, with the hook device switched on the gas and with the flame lit it.
At dawn he came back and reversed the procedure. (The Old Lamplighter of Long, Long Ago).

There's lots more but I'll try to contain myself.
