I have obtained a number of very ancient and unique European telegraph insulators. This photo shows a Charles Walker double cone with original u-shaped bracket from the 1850's. Then are two wide bell shaped Belgian telegraph insulators. Mounted on hooks are two larger telegraph cylinderheads, one being unique as it consists of a thick and heavy iron cover, cemented to the inner porcelain part.
