Lamp Holder Adapter.

Is this an old description of a vintage appliance appliance ? rather than modern ?


Cocus wood is a type of hardwood used for some electrical fittings before bakelite. Probable some low powered appliance with a wooden B22 plug so as to be used from a lamp socket.

Yes Broadgage, the description is from an old electrical catalogue of Ideal Labour Saving Domestic Electrical Appliances. The appliances include clothes' irons, water heaters that look like sauce pans, a toaster and kettles.


All appliances, which are mostly metal bodied seem to have just two core flexes. Perhaps that is why the insulated handles are very large and robust, to offer thermal and electric shock protection.


The plugs illustrated are small in the pictures, but appear to be a B.C. plug type that would fit into a lamp holder.


Would anyone like to guess at the power rating in Watts of the 240 Volt kettles?
