This is the Forbes and Lomax 1GIN, a one gang intermediate dolly switch invisible plate and brass dolly, manufactured by Forbes and Lomax.

Please note: by default, the insert is unlacquered brass; it is shiny/polished brass, which after time becomes aged brass (there is a patina), which can be polished to become shiny again. The insert is unlacquered, designed to mellow with age if left unpolished to match older brass fittings in the home.
