I have fitted a few types on a board as a test board. Still have a few to make into a lamp limiter. I have had a few flush mounted sockets and switches made in the 1930's. I have seen only recently here in Portsmouth houses with brown Bakelite switches and plugs and butler sinks with only one tap. So there are still a few properties about with pre and post war fittings still being used.

Regards, Robin.
