I've kept this catalogue separate from my other brochure and advert pages not only because of its comprehensiveness, but also due to its rather unique nature. Ephemera like this has to be pretty rare, but it also provides a unique snapshot of the goods that were available in 1930s Britain. The catalogue throws up spin dryers, domestic dishwashers, ice cream makers, pop-up toasters and other items one would assume would not have existed at the time.

Other items are notable for their styling, such as the Belling Streamline cooker, which would not look that out of place in a modern kitchen, or the aggressive looking Premier Heat-Controlled iron, with its lamp "in the form of a lighthouse" on the front of the cowl.

All in all, this catalogue is a fascinating archive of electrical equipment available in the UK in the immediate pre-war period, and hopefully will prove to be of interest.
