    2 Vintage Ball Toggle Switches 1961 USA
    Aircraft, Aerospace Industrial Fidget Arrow H&H NOS (New Old Stock)
    1 switch is pictured, you get 2, and save some dough with the same shipping (free).
    These 2 switches are works of industrial art made to function flawlessly
    .
    Workmanship unconditionally guaranteed by me for your lifetime.
    Accidentally dropped one in a backyard firepit.
    Heavily burnt, it still works.  Weird.
    Do you know someone who likes machines?
    These are, really, more than cool.
    26 separate parts and at least 6 different materials in each switch.
    (Your "Free Shipping" by USPS in the USA for 1 switch costs me about )
    The 1st switch is basically .50 or .50 depending on your skepticism.
    The 2nd switch is .50 shipped with the first switch for "free".
    International shipping happily arranged for your payment.
    Please write to me for a shipping quote.  ("I regret that I have but one package to take to the Post Office, today".)
    Make a fair New Year's offer for a quantity of switches.
    How many 60 year-old open-frame switches is too many, really?
    And you will be remembered for this gift for a long, long time.
    New Old Stock
    In original sealed packaging with inner protective wrapping.
    Your 2 switches will be in unopened packages.
    Circa 1961. Probably older than you.
    Please see pictures for details and conditions.
    Your 2 switches shipped by our great USPS.
    PayPal only, thanks.
    Happy bidding and thanks for reading this far.
    Notes for further interest:
    These switches may have been designed to mount in a panel array.
    Maybe these switches needed to be reliable.
    These, as the cliche' goes, are the real deal.

    Arrow-Hart & Hegeman became a wiring devices division of Cooper Industries and produced switches like these for military and other industrial use after the Second World War and through the years of jet aircraft and rocket construction.
    The packaging is Continental Can Co. which acquired Robert Gair Co. (paper containers) and Cochran Foil Co. (so far, packaging includes protective foil perhaps as an antioxidant?)
    That's all
