I always like those push button wall switches.......we had those in the house I grew up in.....
there was a black(off) and red(on) buttons......and they clicked loud when pushing them in.... finding replacement wall plates was not always easy....at that point, the switches were changed to regular toggle types.... | ||

 Wow - I wondered if there was anyone else who digs through parts bins for vintage plugs, sockets, and outlets! And likewise I definitely prefer to have the original cord and plug on a vintage appliance (sadly I don't have a lot where this is the case). I am planning on making a display of some of the more unusual ones in my newly-renovated workshop this summer- stay tuned! I think I may have the only collection of those scary old multiple outlet strips though! | ||

My house was built in 1897 and has some push button wall switches. I have replaced them with new pushbutton switches. They aren't cheap but it sure does look great. I could get new switch plates too which I did. Gary | ||
