Vintage Ark-Les Accessory Switch Tan Knob + 1867781 Cutout Relay Box Lot of 2

Two pieces of old-time automotive history in one lot. Delco-Remy, the General Motors division in Anderson, Indiana behind generators, starters and regulators, packed its replacement parts in red-and-black 'Original Equipment Service Parts' boxes like this one, and part 1867781 was a generator cutout relay used on trucks and tractors. With it is a vintage Ark-Les switch from Watertown, Massachusetts, a name hot-rod builders and period-accessory fans look for.

Details

• It would look good on a garage shelf or wall, or go to the restoration bench.
• What you get: the Delco-Remy box with a tin base and cardboard body, printed 'Cutout Relay 1867781 Original Equipment Service Parts' with a 1941 copyright line on the back; no lid.
• Also the coil with cloth-braided lead and the brass-colored ring and metal ring found in the box, and an Ark-Les switch with tan knob, ceramic terminal base and nickel-plated steel bracket.
• The cutout relay itself is not pictured.

Condition: The box has a torn, ragged top edge, scuffed and worn paint and rust at the base edge. The coil is dirty and aged, and the switch bracket has rust spots. Everything is untested and sold as-is; see photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
