Oh! Thank you!!

No markings. I was told it's a rotary switch for a model train.

Most vintage food products are simply in brand name only which is licensed to manufacturers overseas. They aren't the same tried and true brands of yesteryear.

I am keen on reanimating it. That's what the Fedora Lounge is about for many of us: learning about and continuing traditions and customs from a bygone era. Even so, canning is very much alive and a contemporary practice. I have no interest in Fedoras but other aspects of the era. No need to...
