AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique industrial lever switch / laboratory switch ca. 1900–1930
A beautiful original antique electric lever switch from the early 20th century.
This type of switch was used in technical workshops and physics classrooms for demonstrating and switching electrical circuits.
The switch is mounted on a solid base with a sturdy brass and copper lever construction. The mechanism with a spring and contacts is still clearly visible, giving this piece a particularly decorative and industrial character.
Origin: presumably Europe (possibly Germany / the Netherlands)
Photos are part of the description.
The instrument will be carefully packaged and insured, shipped with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
