Still have all the old mother-of-pearl
inlaid pushbutton light switches that are classic in looks but not up to
120 VAC, sadly.


Ahh, still remember them from my childhood.
Had them for 120 volt too - lots of old houses here had them. There
is at least one company producing them for use in modern electrical
systems for the "retro" look.

Yeah, I've not looked for a number of years now, though--last time I did
the only ones I found at the time were outrageously priced even for a
low volume specialty product...

I've thought one could replace the workings behind the buttons on the
plate w/ new mechanical pushbutton switches but never had sufficient
initiative to actually do so.
