It’s a Sangamo time switch rated at 25A, still available today (if you can afford one). The red button is the override.

If it’s still working it will out live you.

You could press the thanks button as well as the override

Still got a couple of second hand ones in my might be useful one day boxes. Had to repair a solar dial one a while back just the dial on it's own was expensive

I've got a Venner (I think) clock somewhere, in a grey metal ovalish case, nice brass chassis and gears, non of this plastic stuff!.

They're well worth keeping.

Back in the day the samgano timeclocks were used in every street light, Ive seen one of those venner time clock in a 1960s substation, and it still worked a treat

Back in the day the Sangamo timeclocks were used in every street light,

And in every Red Telephone Box.
All with Solar dials.

I love sangamo time clocks they never seem to go bad. Hate digital time clocks 5 min to wire in, 2 hrs trying to set the bloody things.
