I’m a 3rd gen carpenter just never seen it and as a chippy it’s impressive.....but obviously not price workWhat Tel said. Pulled loads of it out on rewires over the years.

Tidy...you probably not come across this type of wiring then? note the roof structure is made from real timber, not weak willie trusses.

Silly Boy, capping and casing, proper tradespeopleHome made trunking ?
I've been trying to build up a collection but it's scarce, hardly ever removable intact and often in pieces too short to bother with. Anyone coming across good lengths intact can exchange them for beers, or at least gushing praise.
Same here , we left loads of it in an old hall for posterity , along with the old servants telegraph system that was an even greater work of art and engineering.I have some short bits as samples in the shed. You don't want to know how many lengths of this I have left in situ on rewires.
I found some old wooden trunking once and it had machined lidding (you know what I mean), quality gear!bloody philistine. tha'ts bespoke cable trunking from c. 100 years ago.
