When I was a kid, my grandparents had those old push button light
switches all around their house. I used to drive my grandparents crazy
pushing them on and off, because my parents house did not have them, and
I thought they were really cool.

Recently I bought a box of assorted electrical parts from an auction and
it had several of those antique push button switches including the brass
plates. I'd like to install a few of them in my house just for the heck
of it. Nostalgia I guess!

They do still work, in fact they seem to be built to last forever out of
heavy porcelain, with a thick brass contact, and viewable spring.

Are they legal to use (by the electrical code) in a newer home that did
not originally have them? I'm not likely to get inspected, but I wanted
to ask.
