Answer
Hi John,

Thanks for the offer!  A picture would probably be sufficient for an identification -- let's start there and if it doesn't come through I'd love to have an example to see the real color.  I've seen a lot of this style (my son has a small specialty collection of these) so hopefully the photo will be sufficient.  We nickname these telephone insulators "exchange" as they were intended to support two wires for wire-drops, etc.  Here is a link to some other examples:
