I have a small collection of old British curios, including some tiny 3-pin plugs and sockets and a 1950s fuse-spur-box. Nothing
really old but still interesting I think.
Any chance of posting a picture of your outlet/plug? Does the plug resemble an Ediswan bayonet lamp base, or is it more like a screw base? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick altogether?
A later Bakelite Ediswan/bayonet plug, fits BC light sockets.
(the slight gold colour is due to poor lighting, it`s actually dark brown)Plugs like these were used here in Britain years ago to run appliances(220-250v), when there were few socket-outlets in homes(but plenty of light sockets).
