I have no idea what insulators might have been used upon the tall poles and building-top structures as photographed around 90 years ago. I know that Hemingray and Brookfield were in the export business to some degree as well as perhaps some US porcelain insulator manufacturers, maybe? Beyond these possible sources, insulators used in scenes like the above otherwise were made in Brazil or at least in neighboring countries.
