Now that's pretty old. Notice that it is rated at 660 W, instead of amps.

It looks like it would accept a 15A 120V non-grounding, non-polarized cord cap one way and rotated 90º it would accept a 15A 250V 2 conductor cord cap that way. But if it is rated 660W at 250V it would only be good for about 21/2 amps.

Either a 2-prong 120v 15a or 240v 20a.

I've seen both, obviously, but not together on the same plug. Wouldn't have thought that.
Aside from being porcelain you KNOW it's old with the terminal screws on the front.

The receptacle was meant to accept the two competing types of plug available at the time for 120 V.
