Title: Elevator Switch
Post by: cozyville on May 08, 2009, 06:41:01 AM

Old elevator switch.  Would anyone have any information on the age or what type it is, or value?

I'm assuming it's made of bronze or brass.  It's kind of a cool item and would probably interest some as a vintage relic.  It has little or no real usefulness in todays world though.

What a neat item - individuals and businesses (like restaurants that display antique/vintage items throughout) will both find this a fun item to have.

Can you please list the dimensions?

Dimensions are 12" tall, 4" wide, and 2" thick. Looks to me like it's made of cast iron.

Does a magnet stick to it?

Yes, a magnet sticks to it.
