My '25 came with a few boxes of parts. Some I know and some I don't do I'm hoping the forum can help.
This is a random switch.

Interesting. I'm still trying to locate my headlight switch on the dash.

Re: Parts identification
1915 through early 1918 model year headlight switch.
A few months in to the 1918 model year, Ford went with the combination horn/light switch on the steering column.

Re: Parts identification
Its a dash mounted push/pull headlight switch. To be precise its a later model defined by the length of the cylindrical portion.
The first versions were brass, next was a long cylinder body, then shorter with protruding contacts. The repros are similar to the shorter style.
Good find $$. Note: The originals were a simple design to complete the positive wire connection. They need to mounted on a wood dash since they were not well insulated internally.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Parts identification
I've yet to find the headlight switch on my car so I guess this isn't right for a '25TS.

Re: Parts identification
The headlight switch for a '25 is the lever on the key switch.
