As a long time sparky, I love it. Never seen one with early dates. I have one idug that has the 1897 patent date.

I grew up on the streets you are diggin at.....I was diggin holes all over that neighborhood back in the late 1970s through recent years...... send me a PM and I will show you some historic stuff I have dug from the area, if you are interested. I know the history of all of those blocks there on the river like the back of my hand.

Good one. Before seeing this post in all my detecting years I never thought there was electrical things that old. Now im not saying iv found anything like that because iv never seen a date on them like that, but iv thrown away dozens of electrical things thinking they were not old. I'll pay better attention in future. (Murphy's Law says I'll never find another as long as I live) 😂

I could go on and on how archeologists screwed over 5he local historical record there back in 2020. I was much involved in it and wrote a nice sized report on my findings and how their agenda was far too biased and misleading.....interesting stuff went on there.

Like Chilli, I had no idea those went back that far, very cool!
