Anyone know when they were primarily used and why they were recessed (This one was about 7 feet up on the wall in the kitchen). Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Sure - it is a clock outlet, made that way so a plug-in clock could be hung in front of it leaving room for the plug and a short cord. Very common, especially in commercial settings such as schools, etc. I believe you can still buy them, but they are not too popular anymore because most clocks are battery operated.

Though they'd be grounded for that application! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
