This was from my photo album it was a nice 120 volt 2 wire 30 amp. service, until they added a circuit for a new garage to mess it up.

( When I started many years ago there were over 150 of these old services. With the help of the utility company we've tracked them down and only 10 are still in service. In a city of 50,000 )

The wood molding for the surface mounted switch is grooved on the underside and protected the K & T wire. It was the fore runner of WireMold(c)

A year after they messed it up they rewired to 200 amps. I saw one that had leaded glass for the door cover. Another the meter and disconnect were in a finished wooden box mounted above the french doors in the dinning room.
