Is this pottery insulator missing a part?

Didn't know where to post this? Is this a telephone pole insulator and is it complete? Three inch diameter and 3" High.

 

I’m pretty sure that’s complete, made to fit over a conical wooden peg on the pole’s wooden crossbar(s.). There are books on insulators, u can probably find one to mooch-read at your local antique mall. Must be websites too, no?

That one sure reminds me of chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream; yum!

 

Thanks Springfield.Arsenal !

BTW enjoyed your pics of the warehouse

That type was most often used on a pipe like this

but sometimes just a lag screw to to a pole too.

 

Thanks Terry !
