I really like this dual-wires-in-one-cord set-up. Not only was it right for the look of the cord I was replacing, but it fit through the small holes on the base of my fan. Before you buy cord, look closely at such holes on your project piece. Vintage and antique items often have non-standard openings. I don't think twisted cord would have fit or looked as good on this piece. These wires come pre-stripped, so barring any weirdness, which often comes up in such projects, you should be able to twist it, cap it or tape it and turn it on! Inside the cloth, the hot wire is clearly grooved to the touch and the neutral is smooth, as is the modern standard. The cord is attractive and doesn't stand out as new. The only thing I don't like is the modern plug it has, but my fan is going to be plugged in behind something, out of sight. I didn't deduct any stars for the plug, because this same type cord is available for twice the price with a vintage-style plug. I chose frugality in this case, instead of period accuracy. Please admire my handiwork in my really short video, 'cause I'm mighty proud and I am She Who Can Get Things Done!!

PS: Don't take any of this as advice on wiring. If you're questioning your skills, a simple Google search will turn up lots of step-by-step how-tos. If you really don't know what's up, consider hiring a handyman or electrician for your project. In other words, please don't sue me if you burn something down.
