What might this wired object be?

[Shrinky Dink]

The house was built in 1977. I noticed at least two of the pictured objects secured to the attic ceiling. I don't know what they are and that leaves me frustrated. What are these wired items attached to the ceiling of the attic?

Looks like a push button switch or a bell push button.

Is that the wires I can see? 2 core twisted? Like old table lamp flex?

Possible a push button, as suggested.
Or a pull cord switch without the cord?

Can you see where the wires go in the attic?

Some sort of old 1970s bell push or door bell push ?

Have you pressed them? Does anything happen?
