Hello,
I was looking through some old catalogues but could not find anything like it, however a 1950s Brown Bros catalogue did have some later GEC electric fires. All the GEC domestic equipment uses codes rather then names for the products and these are of the form Dxxxx where x are numerals (Except cookers which are DCxxx).
There are eight electric fires with the same sort of radiant elements and they have codes D23xx or D24xx, which would fit with the D2400 casting number on this heater.
(Bar type fires are D27xx and D28xx etc.)
Yours, Richard
