Lee Didn’t those set you back a pretty penny? Their perfect for your home’s style and charm though B.
Editor B The switches themselves were expensive, but I got those in — jeez — 2006, I think. What’s new are the switchplates, the covers, the rectangular brown things. And they were cheaper.
rcs Nice! I installed pushbuttons in a few spots and used brass switchplates with an oil-rubbed bronze finish but original Bakelite is great.
rickngentilly cool. check out the repro covers for plugs at the store on french market place across the street from the old mint.

Those are cool – I had those in an apartment I rented in the 80’s on Carondelet street
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Stylish indeed!
