Antique Replica Electrical Plug - Long neck decagon design for Antique Lamps, Fans, etc, cord rewiring
Polarized 2-prong plug
Black, Brown, White, Ivory, or Red - Great with Cloth Wire
These vintage polarized 2 prong plugs add the perfect finishing touch to your lamp rewire, lighting creation, fan, radio or other small appliance refurbish project. They work great with our rayon and cotton fabric covered cord, and can be added to any order with no additional shipping!!!
A truly classic design, they are a vintage style hard plastic bakelite type housing with screw-on top and screw post wire connecting terminals for strength and security. These vintage polarized 2 prong plugs are extremely easy to work with: simply unscrew the top to remove it from the base, connect your wires to the screw terminals inside, then screw the top back onto the base. Done!
Also, these Bakelite replica plugs are a great option if you are looking for a 2-prong polarized plug, vs an unpolarized plug. These Bakelite replica plugs have one blade larger than the other, and fit into an outlet only one way, so you have a dedicated hot/neutral designation (the larger blade with silver terminal screw is "neutral", the thinner blade with brass terminal screw is "hot")
This listing is for the vintage polarized 2 prong plug only (a quantity of 1 = 1 plug!!! Wire shown as an example, can be purchased separately!!!)

Needed for a woodworking project
Just what I needed a little more than I wanted to pay but they will make my projects look unique.
Reply: Glad you like them Martin, these are our more expensive plugs, but we do have a few options that are cheaper, but just as awesome! Also remember price goes down if you buy more, you can mix and match colors, if you think you'll be needing these in the future consider buying 4, 10 or 20 for a bulk discount. -
Enhanced Project
Restoring a 1930's fan. After media blasting and motor rebuild It will get black/grey twisted wire and period plug. Both will look great on this re-do

Excellent quality and safety
Easy to attach the cord, wires are sequestered from each other, quality materials. Way better and safer than the old plug it replaced, and it looks just right.

Authentic-looking Plug with a Margin of Safety
I've been using Snakehead's replica plugs for vintage radio restorations for a couple of years. They're the most authentic-looking plugs I've found. The insulator disks are a big plus for me. Previously I'd used some plugs that came with yellow plastic screw-on disks which looked awful, and I replaced them with hand-made disks. The insulators provided with the Snakehead replicas look like what you'd expect in an old plug.
This is the first time I've purchased long-neck plugs. The reason is that lately I've been gifting some restored radios to family and friends. The long-neck design gives a margin of safety which makes me more comfortable about putting vintage radios in other people's homes. -
good stuff
got mine a few days ago. a great product for when you need the ground in your project. gives it a more authentic look.
SELLERS NOTE: For clarification, these plugs don't have a ground hookup, they are 2-prong plug only: hot and neutral, no ground. We do have a similar style 3-prong plugs if you do need a ground connection for your project. -SHV
