home electrical advice - 4-way versus 2-way switching?
 

I know there are lots of trades people on here including electricians, so I'm needing some advice.
My home is a 130-year-old Victorian that we are slowly renovating to be period appropriate to the extent this is feasible with select modern upgrades where they matter. As I upgrade my electrical a bit at a time, I've been installing those old-timey push button switches. They're hella cool but expensive at 20+ bucks each.

Can I use a 4-way switch wired simply as a 2-way?

Somebody just gave me for free a couple of the period appropriate switches, but they are 4-way switches. I have no need for 4-way switches, as all my lighting circuits require simple 2-way switching. It seems to me I should be able to use these 4-way switch wired simply as a two-way with a black hot line coming in from the panel and a switched hot line going out to the light fixture. Is this correct, or am I missing something here?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Yes you can!

Yip yip

Thanks, guys.
It looks like there is no disagreement, so if that's the case then I'll go ahead with it!
