Tandem breakers
I have never seen a breaker like this I think it is a tandem breaker. Square D box. House was 35 done years old with up grade to box done recently.

Re: Tandem breakers
Yup, they are old style tandems. You can't use them in new boxes, only for replacement in existing installations.

Re: Tandem breakers
That panel is original to the house. It was NOT "upgraded" ever.

Re: Tandem breakers
Agreed based on the small wiring gutters and the rust.
All answers based on unamended National Electrical codes.
