Yea, that's break current arcing, it's pulling like 250ma.

Based on no zip code on the box and plastic cover bag I'd say early 60's.

Nice! I had always wondered how the internal mechanism of a latching relay would work.

I need one of these, I don't know what for, but I'll think of something.

Did you see that spark when the clip was removed from the coil? Definitely need a diode in there to control that inductive kickback. I had some of these as a kid and they were great for when I didn't have a push-on/push-off button. They made the same noise as yours. Brings back great memories. Thanks for the demo!

Beautiful. How old do you think that is?
