The East London Rubber Co Catalogue
5 Attachment(s)
I was gifted this catalogue around 30 years ago. I found it again recently when looking for something else and I wondered if members would be interested in seeing some of the contents . There are many pages covering everything electrical from the mid 1930s from batteries, components. radios, sockets, light fittings and shades you name it!
I will post a selection of pages if there is any interest I will post more. including requests subject to availability! The first 5 pictures.. Rich. |

Hi Rich
Any pictures of Cossor sets? I am still looking for the elusive model 833 :thumbsup: Cheers Mike T |
Re: The East London Rubber Co Catalogue
Yes please I would like to see some more. By the name I was expecting to just see products made from rubber, clearly they branched out into a stockist of many items.

Here are five more pictures check the prices of the PX25 and PX4s. A PX4 for well under a pound! The catalogue is 1934/5 so it isn't as cheap as it sounds of course...
:thumbsup: Rich. |

My researches (made long before this thread was posted): W W Haffenden Ltd, Richborough Rubber Works, Ramsgate Road, Sandwich, Kent (in 1964). Original maker of “Duraplug” shock resistant plugtops, trailing sockets, etc. By 1982, Haffenden Richborough Ltd. Later, part of Caradon MK Electric Ltd. See also MK Electric Ltd (now part of the USA Honeywell company). I do have a very old Duraplug with Haffenden embossed on it. |
Re: The East London Rubber Co Catalogue
Haffenden - makers of Duraplugs - became part of London Rubber Company in 1971

You could get a PX25 for even less- 12/6 same price as an EF41! |
Re: The East London Rubber Co Catalogue
May I respectfully suggest that you scan this and add it to our collection of vintage books and other literature? I did several small books a year or so ago. There is a section somewhere in this forum (only I can't find it - mods please help!?) of vintage literature.

Re: The East London Rubber Co Catalogue
The pictures so far have been photographs. As far as scanning it, the book is a fragile hardback and flattening it out on the scanner bed enough to close the top of the scanner would probably damage the binding, a couple of pages are beginning to part from the binding. I really don't want to risk making it any worse.
I can continue to photograph the pages a few at a time as time permits if the photos are considered good enough? Rich |
