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.

Didn’t those set you back a pretty penny?
Their perfect for your home’s style and charm though B.

Those are cool - I had those in an apartment I rented in the 80’s on Carondelet street

Nice! I installed pushbuttons in a few spots and used brass switchplates with an oil-rubbed bronze finish but original Bakelite is great.
