Vintage Tucker Telac Chrome / White Ceramic British Toggle Light Switch

For all collectors of period homewares or Architectural salvage, we have a genuine Vintage Telac Chrome / White Ceramic British Toggle Light Switch. It dates to about the 1930s/40s.

The face is chromed brass and the back is white ceramic.

Approximate size:
Base Diameter: 6.6 cm
Approximate height (base to tip of switch): 5.5 cm 

It is in fair vintage condition. There are a few scuffs/scratches on the surface of the metal and some pitting. I haven't attempted to polish it as some people prefer to see the patina.

Ceramic base is embossed with:

The switch is not up to current IEE regulations. It has not been restored or tested, and is sold as a collector’s item only.
