Hello, I am trying to date multiple renovations done to my home (built in 1900). I thought the wiring might be a good way to get a time period in which the renovations were done.

The first wiring appears to be black, with 2 conductors wrapped in rubber and no ground with a woven cloth like jacket. And it was used in the original part of the house.

The second wiring appears to be black with 2 conductors wrapped in plastic and no ground with a woven cloth like jacket. It was used in the cottage behind the house.

The third wiring goes to an addition built onto the house, it is white with a woven cloth like jacket and it reads PARANITE PARAFLEX - NON METALLIC SHEATHED CABLE --- 12-2-6 - TYPE NM - 600V

-THANKS!
