    British Doolex 50A Switch

    Moved into a new house and knew it needed electrical work. We're going to get an electrician in to take this old switch out, but does anyone know how old it is, or who it was made by? I haven't found much about it using Google, but I'm not really sure exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers!
