I also wonder why those plates aren't made anymore. They are sure pretty and they can't be more costly to make than the plain cover plates once the mold is set up.

I have some old decorative plates, but these have a neat design in the corners. Also have some with a gothic or arts & crafts look on the border. they are old brown plates from the 30's, before ivory came out.

My house was built in '35 and has 2 of the original single outlets in 2 bedrooms with the corner scrollwork in it. House also has 4 original pushbuttons also.
