I'm often wondering or being asked how old the wiring is, particularly when it's been disguised with new sockets. There are plenty of clues, but I wasn't in the trade when the changes came about. Here are a few to start. Feel free to add dates for other significant changes.

suppose that you have light works on (240 vac and 50 hz) and machine works on (240 vac and 50 hz)
