Was out hiking in the really nice 60 degree weather yesterday and spotted this cool piece on a rather high pole. I couldn't reach this (will be back with a ladder real soon) but got a couple close ups of this double-grooved oddity as best as I could with my camera. This might be an unlisted style. The lower part appears to have four numbers embossed on it. Click "Next" for another view. I will follow up with updates.

UPDATE: I trust everyone out there had a fine April Fools Day! I know certainly did! This is a Brown's pony with a two-piece tramp top silicone-glued to the top. This piece looks rather surreal and exotic; worthy of a double-take even close up with it in your hands! Photo taken with the insulator perched upon one of my outdoor openwire display poles. Now you know what you can do with all of those mismatched tramp tops you have laying around, LOL!

PS...The old wire ties are the real deal.
