Daves1940Buick56S Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Take a look. From my step-grandfathers old wooden tool box. I was going to throw them out, but...checking them out it appears they were used to make/break a current since the point base is insulated from the rest. Maybe an automotive application? I would guess maybe teens/20s? Maybe breaker points in an old magneto?Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Your hunch is correct, Bosch magneto breaker units. Definitely of interest/ at least some value. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daves1940Buick56S Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks all. The ID's are Z and Du6. I understand these are Bosch units. Probably worth 15 or 20 bucks each. Glad I didn't throw them out.Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
