Please provide additional pictures of both. Make sure to show us if the round one has threads inside and tell or show us what the embossing reads. Jim S

There's a bit more information here in an old issue of Crown Jewels magazine: http://www.cjow.com/archive/article.php?month=11&a=11Porcelain Insulator News.htm&year=1997 These turn up from time to time.
