It's about 26" long, the bronze part is either cast or brazed to a piece of heavy walled 3/4" pipe. Inside the handle is an old style micro switch and it appears that the wires would have been fed down through the pipe.

ReplyDelete1643. Without any markings, I can only say that it is a lever to engage or disengage a heavy duty motor. I have seen this type of lever start and stop amusement rides, but because of its length, I can only guess that it was used on a bulldozer or crane.
