Default Re: Unknown (possibly general electric company?) 2 pin 15 amp plug

The last appliance (other than a shaver or toothbrush) I bought new that came fitted with a BS-gauge 2 pin 5A plug was a German-made Mecabltz flashgun I bought circa 1968. The plug was made in Germany. Virtually all the 3 pin 5A 2 way adaptors we had in the 1960's, and some of the 13A ones, had one socket with holes to accept both 2 pin and 3 pin 5A plugs but I usually used it with a BC to 2 pin 5A adaptor I got from Woolworths at the time.
