They were standard until I'm not sure when ... probably the 30s or 40s. I imagine they were too difficult to spot when cars started to travel at speeds significantly faster than carriages had.
You still see them - there were a few on houses around the Annex in Toronto and I remember a few in Winnipeg too - there was always one on the Fortune Block but I don't believe they replaced it when they finished restoring it last year.
