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.
JH Tucker & Co were an Electric Accessories Manufacturers founded in Birmingham in 1892 and acquired by Midland Electric Manufacturing Co (MEM) in the 1960s. See attached a 1920s advert for Tucker switches and accessories in the images.
