Default Re: Frankenstein fuse box

Nice to see these old fuse boxes.
I have a selection of these together with bar switches and porcelain circular fuses actually in use in my collection and vintage workshop. They only run on around 5 amps maximum and always generate amusement from visitors.
The fuse clips and holders were cleaned before I installed them and all connections are nice and tight. There were a surprising number of these still in customers houses well into the 70's probably installed in the early 1920's until I guess the mid 30's.
There must have been millions manufactured. Regards, John.
