This quirky vintage lapel pin is a \u003cstrong\u003eminiature toggle switch\u003c\/strong\u003e with a gold-tone lever, threaded collar and frame, a black plastic housing and three little terminal prongs at the back. The lever really works: it flips back and forth just like a real switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is marked \u003cstrong\u003eCarlingswitch\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Connecticut switch maker now known as Carling Technologies, and the frame is stamped Mexico.
