So I gather they look something similar to this, right Tex? However it has a plastic instead of a ceramic sleeve.

You're right!!

They do look better than the American-market ones. Maybe someday I'll get some for when I rewire some table lamps...but for now (unless I need to use the metal ones) I'll have to stick with the Bakelite shell ones. [Linked Image]
