Original 30 amp, 120 volt services were exceedingly rare even when I was a kid. An old building we owned in the late 70s retained its original wiring, with its open porcelain fuse blocks flanking the electric meter, from which branched out two circuits of surface wiring on cleats. I can recall ever seeing but one house that had two wires entering from the pole. I've seen fairly recent pictures of such installations in 'can you believe...?' types of postings, but I would agree that by now there are close to none if not literally none still in service.
