[TowerTalk] Identifying Traps (possibly antenna)

I have a set of traps that probably went to a 4-band vertical antenna 
sold by Hy-Gain. 

Each Trap is clearly labelled as an "INSU-TRAP" by Hy-Gain in Lincoln, 
NE. The traps have black plastic covers, and have about 7" of 7/8 
aluminum tube one each end of the trap. Overall, the traps are about 18" 
long, with the trap portion only about 3" of that.

I have traps that resonate on 10m, 15, and 20m. I suspect these traps are 
part of a 40m/20m/15m/10m trap vertical. 

Can anyone identify these? Can anyone give me the dimensions and tubing 
sizes required to complete the entire antenna.
