Hi all, been lurking a while and finally created an account to show these really cool lighting controls!
The docent who sent the images said they're circa 1910s-1920s. These are still functional. People occasionally use them to show that they work, and wear thick insulating gloves when they do so.
The Tabor Opera House in Leadville, CO (not the opera house of the same name in Denver) is also home to one of the largest early collections of painted scenery in the US, just as an added bit of trivia.
Thanks for viewing!
