NOS! MCM Vintage Steel Double Outlet Receptacle Wall
Plate Cover, ‘Old English’ by Acorn
This
listing is for one (1) vintage metal Double Duplex Receptacle Outlet Plate
Cover made in the USA by Acorn Manufacturing Co., #03200OE. The ‘Old English’ (dark brushed brass) finished
light switch cover is new old stock, circa 1950-70’s. This decorative steel wall switch plate cover
measures just under 4 ½” by 4 ½” and comes in the original packaging with 2
matching screws. Slight variations in
the finish can be expected as these were hand finished.
These
well-crafted mid-century modern colonial reproduction switch plates graced the
walls of many of the finest custom homes built in the 1950’s and the
1960’s. Replace those paint covered
receptacle covers with new 50+ year-old, high quality, cast aluminum originals!
I
recently purchased over 500 vintage Acorn Manufacturing receptacle covers from
the liquidation of an 80-year-old neighborhood hardware store in Northeast
Philadelphia. These high-quality,
American made outlet plates, switch covers, and receptacle covers were
manufactured in Mansfield, Massachusetts in the 1950’s and the 1960’s. Acorn Manufacturing today is a 3rd generation
family owned and run business and has long been known as the “Cadillac” of
reproduction colonial hardware. These
decorative steel or cast aluminum plate covers come in various sizes and
finishes including Old English, Antique Copper, Pewter, Cherry, Birch, Walnut,
Dead Black, and White Ash.
