Black Mid-Century Embossed Lamp Plug, Antique Bakelite Electrical Plug

This is an excellent reproduction of the original. I have an original, and it’s pretty darn good! I will buy more of these.

Works perfectly. Needed to replace a plug on a lamp cord. Many replace plugs are far too bulky. This vintage style plug was a great patch for the lamp. Install is easy. The trick is to feed your wires through and, one at a time, remove the metal plug you're attaching the wire to, secure the wire, and then reattach the metal plug. Otherwise, it's too tight of a space to get the wire properly secured.

I used this plug for a vintage radio I was restoring. After spending too much time trying to wire the plug, I found the 'trick' that really helped. But, first let me say what doesn't work. I found that there is only enough space in the plug to tie a single knot for a strain relief. Also there is not enough room for using any type of spade connector. The only feasible way is to wrap a wire (either tinned or bare) clockwise around the large screw on the prong. Only then, did I find the TRICK that I should have tried first. Remove the prongs from the plug by undoing their small screw, and then do the wiring. After which you can replace the prongs in the plug and you're all set. In my case, I bent and tinned the wires before tightening the screw down, which worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

Nice reproduction and finish. Wiring terminals are sturdy. There is no built-in strain relief though other than the wire connections. I wanted to use small ring terminals, but there is not much room so had to wire directly to the machine screws which is fine, but takes a bit of finesse to accomplish. One unit broke in half when I was tightening the screws, but I think it was just a flaw. The others that I've used seem well made and I had no issues with them.

Easy to attach and fit the antique style. I was able to find the old 2 wire flat wire at a local lighting store. Now my lamp is safe again. Good quality.

Perfect for restoring vintage appliances.

Quality was cheap looking. Small and hard to wire.

Easy to connect to my old lamp. looks just like the old plug.

I have ordered a couple of these to rewire my Antique lamps and it looks so good. easy to use.

Purchased for a restoration of a lamp made from a WW1 tank shell. The plug is a perfect match for the period and of good quality, will purchase again for future projects.

it finished off the restoration of a toaster i restored
