A recent thread ran about these odd specialty brackets that served to decoratively top out a steel trolly pole and carry wires for (in this case) street lighting. This is one of the very few remaining poles of this type in Spokanistan and the only three-pointer I can think of at all. Washington Water Power was a big user of grey and blue porcelain and this install shows a wide variety of early Thomas mud, including both wet and dry process pieces.
