...unless you are swapping out outlets from a 1950s house.



I can virtually guarantee that it came from the Sears store on 1st and Lander in Seattle.

My daughter's apartment had them. Hated it.

The horizontal slots do make it easier to stick a fork in the outlet!

For as long as I’ve been alive, I have never seen a 20 amp plug - the kind with a horizontal blade.

Oh, and for some reason, this one was installed upside-down. I think it was replaced at some point because it looks different from all of the other original outlets in the house.
