Another question abour very old mains switches ?

[PipG]

These are also extremely old and lots of them - best for scrap ?

look at the rust on them!

I doubt the scrap metal man would even want them

They do look a bit grim but the rust is actually superficial and not eaten through.

Again, ebay - aim at Steampunk fans, use steampunk in the description.

These things are no longer produced, however when cleaned up, repainted and installed in a false environment can make steampunk fans go weak at the knees.
Research how much steampunk fans are paying for stuff, you could be onto a gold mine here

And if all else fails, try freecycle before a trip to the dump civic amenity site.

Or better still try Freegle and use a UK based recycling site.

If you know anyone in the car restoration line that does sodablasting and would give you a bulk price for the lot you could be on to a nice little earner.

Drew Pritchard probably give you a few hundred quid for them.

Some interesting stuff there! Shame it's not new in box. Some of that will be 75+ years old

A shame you haven't taken close-up pictures, so we could have a good look.

Unusable really, though a keen collector would be in heaven with that lot, so it would be a terrible waste to scrap them.
