Known around the insulator hobby as a "strain" insulator. They come in a wide variety of colours, shapes and sizes.

I'm not an expert on strains but I believe most of them to be newer production. I am not real sure about approx. when. Like Jay said they do come in a variety of colors

Thats cool. I hadn't seen those before. Thanks for posting the site. I will have to post some insulator sites that I have found for those interested.
