These may date back to the 60's not sure, and they may be
discontinued as I can't find them anywhere on the Net. I have an
electrical box with three small wall toggle switches rated 10 amps
each. Mine are made by Bryant. They snap into a stamped metal
triplex "bracket" which then mounts in any standard small
rectangular electric box. With the box mounted with its long
dimension horizontal, the three switches would toggle up and down.
Can someone give me the history of these and let me know if they
are still available?

Can't help with the history and such but you might look here
http://www.alliedelec.com/ if you're looking for replacements.
I don't know if Allied sells retail but at least you'll have an idea
what's available.

Sorry to bug you about this, but why do people suggest Allied for
household *electrical* items?

That's like suggesting Home Despot for electrolytic capacitors or
integrated circuits. They just don't carry that stuff.
