This rare style is essentially a CD 131.4 without threads. Three of these insulators were found on a house in Cincinnati in 1993. It is believed to have been the house of George Floyd. Floyd applied for a patent for a special pin that would "spring out" up inside a threadless insulator with an extra cavity in the dome area (see patent). For more information, read this article.
