there was no ground at all with these receptacles. they were mounted above a mantel on a fireplace for little light fixtures. they still had power and worked fine. only other time i seen these was inside my books

Now that you mention it these look like some recent receptacles that I saw at the supply house. Can not remember the manufacturer's name??? They were designed to be placed in the window seal and you had "candle" type plug in fixtures to be used during the holidays. This way you did not have to deal with ext. cords.

Hey, I have a duplex one of those! It came from a friend's parents' house, in the front hallway baseboard. There are only two terminals, though, so you can't connect it for dual voltages.

i installed those before too. the ones we put in were 12 volts and the candle slides in with a base that covers it. i believe the company was named window candles or something like that

That is interesting. I've never seen anything like that before.

It's basically a 15a 125v 2-wire receptacle and a 15a 250v 2-wire receptacle sharing the same real estate.
