Description :
A large vintage industrial power switch box, featuring a bold "POWER" stencil and prominent manual hand crank on the side. Likely salvaged from a mid-20th century factory or heavy machinery installation, this steel box has a rugged, utilitarian design.
The unit has a domed red-painted housing over the crank mechanism, surface-worn black paint, and visible wear from decades of use. A striking piece of industrial décor that can be repurposed as wall art, a display piece, or incorporated into steampunk and loft-style design.
Not tested for function — sold as a display piece.
