Someone Posted This GE Switch

I saw this switch posted not long ago, or it was very similar, and I don't think that it was marked SOLVED. My what is it switch has GE on the knob end and an eletrical connetion on the other. See look:

Could be an old GE fuse link from a cutout.

Here take another look, it looks like a push pull type plunger switch linkage and knob, it does have a single strand wire protruding out of the end (seems like it could be a fusible resistant rated wire) and the knob is soldered onto the shank. It also looks like I see wear on the ramps on the shaft as if it was pushed or pulled in and out:

That's a clad Franklyn Mint coin for scale.

I agree. Blown cutout fuse.
