This batch of switches was purchased at an industrial liquidation earlier this year, and they were brand new in the original factory boxes.  We repackaged them in heavy Ziplok bags for resale.  You will notice some minor darkening of the brass terminals because of the silver plating, and that's just what silver does.  You don't find that (silver plating) on lower quality made-for-import stuff nowadays.
These switches have two terminals, and operation is Normally Open.  That is to say, electricity only flows through the switch
when
the lever is pressed down.  They operate exactly opposite from the door switches controlling the light in your refrigerator or the dome light in your car.  They are rated for use with DC current, and the contacts are gold plated silver alloy to withstand the more detrimental effects of DC voltage.  The 1/4" quick connect spade terminals are solid brass with a silver plating.
Actuation force at the end of the lever is a medium 1.6 ounces, according to our scales.  The contacts close with a definitive "click" at about 1/3 travel, with the remaining 2/3 being overtravel.
