Reply #4 Ekco

I have the 2 qt. double boiler. It was my paternal grandmothers. The pot that is used for the water is actually induction compatable. Blew me away.

My "other mother" who was neighbors at both our houses had several pieces, the big skillet and I also believe the dutch oven--4.5 qt. lI thought those pans were so beautiful and modern. I liked the look of them better than Reverware. I think Revereware had significantly far more variety of pieces than Ekco ever did. And that's what kept me drawn to Revereware.
 
Re:#’s 1, 15 and 16

Thanks Louie for finding these old electric supply catalog pages.  I knew damn well that there were floor and wall electric outlets in 1919 and before.  In’78 I lived in a duplex that was built before 1920 that had original outlets like these with the brass cover plates.

 

 There were only two 15 amp circuits in fuse box outside under the roof overhang.  I couldn’t do the laundry at night in my Maytag A50 because every time I started the spin tub I’d blow a fuse and have no lights.  Then I’d have to go outside in the dark with a flash light and get up on one of the 3 legged chairs to my Danish Modern dining table and precariously attempt to replace the blown fuse.  This duplex also had a real Murphy Bed in the dining room where I slept and my brother Joe, who I shared the duplex with slept in the only bedroom.

My dad's Uncle Harry and Aunt Mabel built a grand new home in 1918; one of the finest houses in Hillsboro, OH at the time. Aunt Mabel lived until 1977, and their daughter Kathryn lived there until sometime around 2008, so I was in the house many times over the years. Nearly everything was original to the house when she sold it - light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, basically everything except the heating system. The electric had NEVER been updated. Light switches were all the pushbutton type with brass plates. Receptacles were on the wall a few inches above the baseboard, and were the Edison base screw type as shown on page 22 of the linked 1915 Chelten Electric Co. catalog. They had the screw in accessory installed so prong type plugs could be used. One time one of them in the kitchen stopped working, so they asked me to look at it. I removed the insert, and screwed in a lightbulb, which lit. The problem was the insert, so I went to the hardware store, and got them a new one. They did have an electric range from the 50's, and used the receptacle on it for the frying pan, roaster, etc.
