All four of these are U-1668 styles. An artist in the 1950s named Fornasetti bought these insulators from the Richard Ginori insulator company and decorated them. They each have gold trim and are marked as follows:

Around the crown: PER DETTAREITE TELEGRAMMI and around the skirt: The Italian names for each letter. Inside the skirt but only partially printed: FORNASETTI MILANO / MADE IN ITALY, mint insulator with light wear on the gold trim.

Around the crown: THE NEW "picture of a key" TO DREAMS and around the skirt: Attributes like "money, peace, selfishness, endurance, etc." and a picture for each. Inside the skirt (faint): FORNASETTI MILANO / MADE IN ITALY, mint insulator and no visible wear on the gold trim.
