Believe it or not I used to sell them! Belling bed warmer . 'Only use 40W rough service lamp'
Sold them to elderly ladies that didn't like the idea of being fried alive by an electric blanket. The Belling was of course removed before retiring.
Maybe it also reminded them of the ancient version that was filled with hot coals! John.
