Default Re: Chrome plated plug pins.

Turns out I do still have my plug after all. It was in a box of misc. plugs in the back of the garage.

WG brand. Must have been bought in the early 1970's, almost certainly from Woolworths, because the inside of the plug has the old conductor colour code (red, black, green) embossed adjacent the respective terminals. It still has its original self-adhesive label, although the printing has run somewhat. It says "Indestructible, Resistant to Acids, Oil, Moisture, Abrasives".

Photos attached: the 3A fuse is not original. Apart from a small area on the earth pin, the plating is in good condition.
