This style is attributed to the Pilkington Brothers Ltd. of  St. Helens, Lancashire, England. Many similar styles were exported to Australia.  The copper top is to avoid AM radio interference.  This is a two part multipart insulator where the glass shells are cemented together.  Original CD assignment from Glass Insulators From Outside North America published in 1993 by Marilyn Albers & N.R. Woodward -- The assignment was made from a catalog drawing, this actual insulator only recently surfaced!
