The light chocolate insulator is a New Lexington product with an unglazed pin hole the darker unit is likely an Ohio Brass (OB) product. These are the Fay clamp insulator design that was used in the St Louis area in the early 1910's. They are a "no tie" design that had a metal bail clamp and porcelain plug that held down the line conductor rather than a tie wire.
