Early Electric Style Ribbed Bakelite Polarized Plug Black Brown

Ribbed Bakelite Polarized Plug Early Electric Lamp Cord Replica Black Brown

The plug that ends the cord the way the lamp began — in the right material, the right form, the right period.

A ribbed bakelite polarized plug is the part most restorers settle on last and regret skimping on first. When a floor lamp, table lamp, or early electric pendant has been brought back with care — correct socket, correct cord, correct hardware — the plug at the end of the cord is the final word. This new-production early electric replica gets it right. The domed, glossy shell carries the ribbed motif of period American electrical hardware, circa 1910s through 1930s, and is available in black or brown to match the cord and hardware of the fixture being restored. The center cord opening is clean and precisely bored. The polarized two-prong blades — one brass, one nickel — are correctly offset for polarized wiring and sized to standard lamp cord. It fits table lamps, floor lamps, torchieres, desk lamps, and any restored vintage lighting fixture terminated with standard two-conductor lamp cord. For a restoration finished with original-style cloth cord, twisted rayon cord, or early rubber-jacketed wire, this plug is the correct period conclusion.
