I have Leviton incandescent dimmer switches, but I don’t know how to identify the outlets. They are from anywhere between 1980 and 2010 though.
Why don't you take pictures of them?

Here is a picture of one of the older outlets in my house.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

My other photos are too large, so I can put them in my gallery tomorrow.

Thanks! When would those have been made or installed? My house was built in 1978.

The 5320-I would be original. The 5320-W would be after 1995 or so.

Nice! I didn’t think any original receptacles would be left, and there are three 5320-I in the house. Everything else is the 5320-W, except the bathroom and outdoor outlets which are GFCI.

@GE101R, have you replaced your Circle F snap switches yet?

Older one: Leviton 5320-I
Newer one: Leviton 5320-W.

Same basic model.  The I is for ivory and the W is for white.

The older ivory one is made out of bakelite and would have round plaster ears.  Hard to tell by the face, but I think the design dates to the late 60s.  The only change that I know of during that time was that the ground screw moved from facing down to facing the side.
The newer white one would have been made after an approximately 1995 redesign, where the bakelite was replaced with thermoplastic and the plaster ears are a larger square shape.  The thermoplastic faces have a little molding lip visible around the perimeter of the outlet face.  They're basically unchanged today.

Still on the list. It's been a bad winter with much excess rain and far behind in projects that were already started. Give me a little time.
Ok I will.
