I guess you mean this?Valdemar said:LTLFTcomposite said:Yeah, I was surprised to see romex with no ground wire, didn't know there was such a thing.
Perhaps it wasn't Romex (NM) but SER cable?

It doesn't look anything like that - it looks like normal "romex" (NM?) wire/cable... black jacket, more or less round cross section, three insulated copper conductors that appear to be #10, black, red and white - no uninsulated ground.
Edit: looks like it was popular for houses built around that era, as cheaply as possible:
