The perfect addition to any lamp or small appliance such as fans and radios, this beautiful 16 gauge cloth covered wire is a great way to replicate that vintage industrial age charm.
This is BRAND NEW, antique style 3-wire, 16 gauge stranded copper electrical cord (known as 16/3, Note: this is a thicker gauge than the rest of my wire which is 18 gauge, hence the slightly higher price). The 3 wires allow you to use a ground wire, although many lighting situations won't require one, in which case just clip the green wire and leave it unused. This black cotton covered electrical wire differs from regular 3-wire round pulley cord in look because it is NOT completely round, instead the 3 wires are twisted around each other and then covered in the braided fabric, leaving the texture of the twist beneath it visible.

excellent replacement cord for vintage toaster
The cloth covered wire was an excellent replacement for the original asbestos insulated cord for a pristine vintage toaster. Snakehead personnel’s installed and antique style vintage plug on the Eire, making installation on toaster very simplr

Great for fan projects!
Ordered this for the headwire on my 1920 Emerson desk fan project and it's got the closest to original look I could find online! Fantastic quality wire!

Great hard to find product
This is a great option to use when you want that ground option on a fancier piece. This is a heavier duty wire that works very well. Cloth covering is nice and wires are good quality. The covering is not shiny its a nice cotton look.
Glad I found this here, I could not locate it anywhere else.
