PIFONA = Porcelain Insulators From Outside (of) North America

None of these are listed in the 1982 "PIFONA" guide.

I got these three porcelains from DJIC on Saturday May 21. The tallest white piece is about 5 1/4 inches (130 mm) tall, and 3 3/8 inches (85 mm) at the base of the skirt. It is marked with an intertwined [id=310834893; K and G]. Possibly a U-1741 ?

The white unmarked "Delta" is 3 3/4 inches tall and wide (95 mm) and the small crudely formed unmarked brown glazed piece is about 2 3/4 inches (70 mm) at the widest part of the skirt and 2 1/2 inches (65 mm) tall. It is similar to a U-1644, but it has an extended inner skirt. The insulator has a somewhat lighter brown, and more "metallic" looking glaze than this picture shows.

I will also cross post this to [id=311122015; help/questions] for help in identifying these mystery porkers.
