History G.E.: General Electric (G.E.) manufactured electrical switching devices – including wall switches, toggle switches, snap switches, etc. – which were widely used throughout much of the 20th century. An early G.E. toggle switch model, for example, is in the collection of the National Museum of American History. For collectors and enthusiasts of vintage items, a G.E. switch bearing British patent numbers is of historical interest, as it documents the development of electrical installations and accessory design in Great Britain, particularly the transition from ceramic/porcelain bases to Bakelite/plastic.

Please note: Our electrical items are vintage items and are sold as collector’s pieces. If you intend to use them, we recommend that you have them inspected and certified for safety by a qualified electrician before connecting or operating them. Please consult your electrician before purchasing.
