This is for those poles you spot in street view but the satellite overview shows it's clearly long gone.

Here's one that falls into this category - goo.gl/maps/Gj573jnpos82

Interesting. Your photo reminds me of a pole in Connecticut that was yukked by EVERSOURCE Energy just a few weeks ago.

It was an old pole, put up around 1937 by Litchfield Electric Light & Power, with a 6-pin arm carrying 4.8kV delta. The insulators were 1960s CL&P replacement brown-glaze cable tops.

Sadly, the crossarm was replaced by a braceless fiberglass arm with 35kV Hendrix.

Here's a Google Street View photo of the pole before its crossarm met its doom:
