ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades UK switch plate collectible or for restoration?

I was browsing ebay to see if a pile of brass switch plates were worth and $$$.

And I come across this

Holy smokes 130.89 USD.. youch..

My question is do poeple use this for restoration or as collectibles?

I guess it could be either, but £82 seems rather steep!

At these prices, I reckon a good rummage through my junk boxes should provide enough for a vacation in Bermuda!

£82.00 you can get modern equivalent switchs cheaper than that,, also comply with current BS numbers
