I need help in finding either after market or old "Arrow" switches from the 1920's.

I have an architect who wants to match the original switches
 
Re: Old Style Switches

These are a bit spendy but they are contemporary recreations including the pearl inlay.
 
Re: Old Style Switches

Arrow is the brand name. I am doing a kitchen rehab and the architect want the wall switches to match the existing. The home was built in 1922.

The switches are brass bat handle.
 
Re: Old Style Switches

Yow!

I know the switch type. I've never seen anything in the literature about a counterpart. I assumed you were asking after pushbuttons, obviously.

I've always taken that brass bat handle switch style to be an orphaned architectural affectation that had limited production and that was abandoned for lack of market penetration.

Even the cover plate, for the examples I've seen, is custom to that style.

Does he want you to match the receptacles and lights, too? :roll:
