Perma-Glo PG 101 Glow-in-the-Dark Switch Plate 1985 Apple Fish

This Perma-Glo PG 101 glow-in-the-dark wall switch plate is an original 1985 new old stock piece from Perma-Glo Industries with a colorful apple and fish design.

The switch plate is still packaged on its original retail card. The package says the material glows for 6 to 8 hours after brief exposure to a light source and identifies the product as safe, non-toxic, and non-radioactive.

Those are original manufacturer claims printed on the package. Current glow performance has not been tested because the package remains sealed.
