Double Petticoat Standard Glass Insulator Company signals have been noted in this community on primary and secondary distribution. They were initially used way back within electric distribution's early days of the Malden company when it was a solitary entity serving this suburb a bit north of Boston. Eventually, like most others, these little companies were bought out by larger utilities through the years... Fortunately a lot of the older insulators were reused throughout the decades.
