    Description

    For auction, a
    lot of 21 vintage brass switch plates and outlet covers
    . These came from the collection of a Massachusetts electrician, who saved them after systems were upgraded in the 1970s and 1980s. Included are:
    - 3 three-unit covers, for two pushbutton switches and an old style two-plug outlet between them. They are thick and beautifully milled, not just stamped. On the back they are marked "H. Hubbell, Bridgeport, Conn."
    - 2 two-unit covers, for a single pushbutton switch and a single old-style outlet.
    - 1 single pushbutton switch cover.
    - 1 double round receptacle cover.
    - 4 three-unit covers for two pushbutton switches and a round opening between them. They are also beautifully milled and are stamped "The Perkins Electric Switch Mfg. Co, Bridgeport, Conn."
    - 1 double-wide unit with a large circular opening.
    - 3 single-wide units with a round opening.
    - 1 unit with a three-lobed hole and a red indicator below.
    - 2 double-wide covers with a round opening and single traditional switch.
    - 2 single-wide two-receptacle covers.
    - 1 standard receptacle cover.
    In all there are 21 switch plates and outlet covers. Seven are three-unit, six are two-unit, and eight are one unit. They are primarily for pushbutton light switches, but there are two for standard-style switches and one for a standard-style plug. These are salvage items and have been carefully stripped and cleaned, but have lived a long life and there are signs of use. Please look at the photos carefully.
    Guaranteed to be as shown but they are otherwise sold as is, with no returns.
    For payment, PayPal only, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please do not ask that other forms of payment be accepted or that the auction be ended early; I will decline to do so. The item has been carefully packed and will be sent as specified the next business day after receipt of payment. Please note that the actual shipping cost may differ from that shown prior to the auction's end; buyer pays actual shipping, with no handling charge unless otherwise specified. I will combine shipping for multiple items. If you're near Boston, Mass., and wish to pick the item up, it can be done so at no cost.
    This is a no-reserve auction, so happy bidding!
