We thought this image of a Crabtree Lincoln Bakelite switch with two different early styles of packaging might be of some interest to our customers!
Our new Bakelite switch range doff’s it’s hat from a design point of view to this early icon of Bakelite switching.
Please send in any pictures of the old Crabtree switch if you have any in your house, we would love to see them!
I just found this very box under the floorboards in my hall closet. Also, a racing form from 1923!
Will definitely be checking out your repro switches when we get round to the electrics.
We large restoring an old farmhouse in France. The original light switches were semi spherical white porcelain ones so we felt the white Bakerlite switched to wood switches were the perfect replacement . And they are we love them and so does our r electrician. The price, compared to ordinary plastic switches in France was so favourable that we can afford to do the whole house in switch to wood. We lost track of our first order and Switch to wood were not only really efficient and quick to find it for us but were incredibly nice to deal with on the phone. Thanks. Next order coming up.
