I can't even remember when I took this from mum's house where it was just stored away for decades, and tucked it into my store room for the last few years! Like mother like daughter, eh? Anyway this was hers or my dad's (from their single days perhaps) in the early 60s I believe. It is aluminium and very heavy (Made in England "Swan brand" by Bulpitt & Sons, Birmingham - patent pending. Bulpitt & Sons are the ones who made the first fully immersible heating element), with a bakelite handle. The electric cord (black and white) was kept inside the kettle for safe keeping.
Kind of looks like those English/Australian models. Any markings?
mike, aghcollect and blunderbuss, thanks for your appreciation.
blunderbuss you do know your stuff! I got it down to have a closer look. It is indeed English - the mark says Bulpitt & Sons, Birmingham - Swan Brand (which was a brand the company registered in the early 20th century), patents pending (first immersible heating element). Thanks for making me do some homework :)
Thanks Kerry for the love.
Always happy to divert work away from me. Good show that.
Thank you Sean for the love!
