What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

It has been hard to convince my husband that extension cords are well worth the high price. Especially the limited edition ones, unique colors or vintage and impossible to find.

Due to sheltering in place at home I have realized there is no need to hide or save my designer extension cords. I have decided to make them a focal point of my minimalistic home. I have been decluttering my closets and had no problem letting go of many designer purses and clothing. But the extension cords were causing me too much anxiety in even th thought of selling one.

I have decided to take them out of the closet and display them proudly in my house. If others are jealous or think I am bragging about my special collection, let them be. I can walk in a room and admire their beauty. As with art one can stand in different places and your extension cord will take on a new meaning. I find it very relaxing to look at my extension cords. The stress of the day just melts away. View attachment 4787131View attachment 4787131View attachment 4787132View attachment 4787133

It must be nice to live in such a lovely home, it's like a museum! I yearn for a room, or a wing, dedicated to ECs. One can dream...

I have been missing out! I just found this awesome pink and yellow cord that will work perfectly with the BTP Neverfull! It's pricey since it's a designer piece, but well worth the price for being connected by the pool side.
I will now be able to use all my electric appliances by the pool safely with this beautiful extra long cord!:lol:

I actually like it!
Safety first, you’ll also be able to see it clearly if it drops into the pool! :biggrin:

Mama, that is beautiful!

I guess I can take a moment to brag also.

For Christmas, my husband gave me a crazy vintage extension cord. It can be challenging to find old electrical products that are not grounded to use with it, but it's worth the hunt. There are a couple of scuffs and marks, but is otherwise in excellent vintage condition.

We all like to know history of our collections, so I'll tell you. The 2 prong plug was originally called Nema 1-15 when it was invented by Harvey Hubbell II, two-pronged plugs are now known as Type-A plugs. It's always more fun to use our things when we know their fascinating beginnings.

I've styled mine with light and dark brown Nema 1-15s to compliment my Speedy DE.

Oh my!!!
The history of these cords are fascinating! Thank you for sharing.
The designer was truly a genius obviously!
And your mix of the colors is truly creative! I would not have thought of mixing such bold colors together. But they work.
I'm just sad that these lovely vintage items don't come in pink and yellow, as I would have loved to have used them near the water!

tPF is just a bunch of enablers! I just have to get this, but I don't see it on the website. Did the waitlist get closed? Do you have a link you can recommend? I'm desperate!
 
I'll try to locate it for you and find a nice SA to take your order if it's possible at all. I think it is a LE!
Thank you so much! It's so hard to find a good SA nowadays!

Also, @LVYorkie, another thread I'm thoroughly enjoying:
