    Default Strange switches in 1958 home

    There were several like this scattered throughout. They didn't seem to do anything.
    Can anyone ID this thing?

    I think those are dimmer switches.

    Thanks! Now I'm getting deja vu all over again. I think I asked about these a couple/few years ago.
