I now have the sneaking suspiscion that in the half-done restoration job, someone replaced the power cord with a new cloth covered cord already. I was amazed at how good condition it is... no frays at all, etc.

I came across Sundial wire's website selling cloth cord kits. They ALSO sell these kinds of "Acorn" (brand) plugs which is identical to what mine has:

No wonder the cord and Acorn plug end is in such good shape.. they are modern made.

How to my question, how safe are those kinds of plugs? They have nothing more than a small piece of cardboard covering the wire and screws inside:
