The smaller insulators on the upper crossarm look like ponies and likely were for phone subscribers. There are a couple larger insulators in the middle of the same arm. I am not sure what they are but perhaps they are transpositions.

Lowermost are electric service lines leading to a customer. The large light-colored insulators look something like porcelain "Edisons"?
