**EDIT**
I have been cleaning these things up, and the same piece on every one is stamped BRYANT, and on the other side is stamped 250V, 10A
**EDIT**



I cannot find ANY info on these plugs/sockets.

picture 1. on the faceplate, you can see that the little flaps are hinged to allow the plug to be plugged in.

Pic 2 is what the socket looks like.

Pic 3 is what the plug looks like. The pic doesnt show it well, but it is only a 2 prong plug.

ANY info would kick ass. This shit is definitely old as fuck, the sockets are ceramic.

what did it come off of? Looks like it wouldn't pass electrical code, so I'd say nobody has them if you're looking to get more.

Whatever it is, it should be brought up to date. Having the receptacle as the male end is a major no no and has not been done since... well since shortly after we started using electricity.
