First time I ordered the revival lighting ivory cord sets in 2018, I got 4.  Second time, I got 10.  I need some more and they're STILL $2.75.  I'm gonna get 25! |9|

Now they're sending me ivory cord with a 3rd party plug attached when I order the $2.75 cord--they can't be making money that way!   They must finally be out yet the $2.75 price remains. >-D

Shipping is not cheap.  I bought 6 cords and 20 ft of cloth covered wire and shipping to SE Penn was $10 if not more.

I declare myself well and truly and finally done looking for ivory lamp cord!

I went to this place and they said they hadn't made it in years.  I was about to leave when the lady said she had some 6-foot cords with the plug attached if I could use that.  She said she'd give me a heck of a deal.   What kind of heck of a deal?  A buck apiece.  I didn't even DENT the box these came out of-- this is only fifty!
(They threw in some old, 70's GE plugs for lagniappe.)

Full disclosure: I think this is 16-gauge wire but much thinner than a regular extension cord.

That was 2018.

2022 prices:
8 feet of ivory cord with plug?  $7.50  --ouch!
8 feet of ivory cord--no plug?  $5.60  of course you only need 6 feet and for a kitchen clock, a lot less...
