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.
