    Description

    I personally removed this from my home that was built in 1922. This was the Main Service Panel. Yea. 2 Circuits of 110v that powered a Living Room and a Dining Room. The rest of the homes lighting was powered by Natural Gas wall lights.
    As seen in the pictures with the original (three) 100 year old wood screws. Steel Panel was MFG by Allsteel Equip Co. Aurora, Illinois. Porcelain knobs on Knife Switch and Panel access door have small tiny imperfections but no cracks. Everything is
    intact and moves freely as it should and door latches tightly. Contact screws can be turned with your fingers.  The circuit porcelain looks very nice and shiny white with no cracks. Has some rough spots on the edges of the porcelain and some minor surface rust inside the panel box probably from condensation over the years. Please look at the photos above, there are 12 of them. Double click the main pic and use the arrows or mouse over each image to enlarge.
    Would make a nice display piece or a functional addition to a vintage lighting group. Could be the switch. Nice Turn of the Century piece of History.
