SPTrefers to the thickness of the plastic insulation on lamp wire:
This lamp cord is rated SPT-1. This means it has the traditional thickness of plastic insulation covering the lamp wire. It easily slips 1/8 IP lamp pipe. SPT-1 was used on many old - vintage lamps.
Makes a lamp you are afraid to plug in as safe and attractive as when it was new. The cords look original except that they are clean and add the safety of a polarized plug.
