1930s Tucker Brass and White Vitreous Toggle Light Switch

This wonderful piece of architectural salvage is an original 1930s Tucker Brass and White Vitreous Toggle Light Switch. 

In reasonably good condition with some surface scratches, scuffs and blemishes commensurate with age and use. It has a white porcelain base and brass cover. The brass is discoloured and pitted but I haven't attempted to polish it as some people prefer the vintage patina.

Embossed on the rear:-
