Vintage Lektrik Brass / Brown Ceramic British Toggle Light Switch

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

The face is brass and the back is black painted brown vitreous ceramic.

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.

Approximate size:
Base Diameter: 6.4 cm
Approximate height (base to tip of switch): 6 cm 

It is in fairly good 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:

By Royal Warranty To HM The King 

Regd Lektrik Trademark

Patents:

The Royal Warranty was probably granted by King George V: 1910-1936.
