✅ SOLVED Some Sort of Vintage Porcelain Electrical Insulator?

[FreeBirdTim]

Found this in the woods yesterday. Seems to be some sort of porcelain electrical insulator, but I've never seen one like it before. Unfortunately, the porcelain part is broken, but I do see the letters "PEI" and either a "B" or an "R" after that. Can anyone tell me the name of the manufacturer and what it was used for? A rough idea as to how old it may be would help as well. Thanks.

Not sure about age, older but not real old.

Looks like an old vintage screw-in insulator someone re-purposed. These were commonly seen on old houses
with a strain relief attached where the power lines came in.

Close enough! Just never saw one that was rectangular in shape. I'll have to go back to the spot and see if I can find one that's undamaged. Thanks for all the help and for the photos.
