      Cool piece of electrical history, but 'P.E.S. MFG. CO.' has nothing to do with the 'Power & Energy Society', which wasn't known by that name in 1912.

      That's part of a switch, produced by the Perkins Electric Switch Manufacturing Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. I didn't check all patents for that date, but it may be part of this type of switch, invented by Anthony F. Wallbillich and granted a patent on 17th September 1912 as for the date on yours:

      I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.
