Don't presently know if you can buy old stile switches like that but I have one 
here in this old house which has two push buttons, one for on and one for off. 
I moved it when I replace a three way switch  but couldn't throw it away so I 
installed it for the light in the closet of my daughters room. It is the only 
one of it's kind I have ever seen.

  I'm asking for a sighted guy who is doing some restoration in a old 
  house which has light on off switches like our first house. If you are 
  old enough you will remember ssome of the first light switches were 
  of a push button variety . he says some of them have one button which 
  appeared to one time be white in cholor . a soft touch turns the lights 
  on or off. and the other kind was more like a dial turning left or 
  right. to turn the lights or power on and off. is there a place where 
  one can buy these still or can these old switch's be rebuilt? 
  thanks.Lee
