You will see them on older examples of radio and or electrical fittings. Generally of UK origin. I have seen many variants of these toggle switches over the years.

The original examples I have , scrounged from cab 12 wrecks , are of dubious quality . From many perspectives, in plain terms, THEY ARE CRAP ...

I found some NOS examples , made in the UK , at a swap meet. They are pictured here with the tag . Also , one is still inside the plastic cover,, from the 1950's I think.
