Hecla Chrome Kettle Hot Water Bottle Warmer 240 Volt Australia Vintage

Description: Hecla Chrome Kettle Hot Water Bottle Warmer 240 Volt Australia Vintage Hecla had no retail stores of its own instead it sold products through wholesalers and retailers, including the State Electricity Commission (SEC). The company promoted its goods through advertisements in home magazines and displays in shop windows, home shows and the 1935 All-Electricity Exhibition. A popular advertising slogan in the 1930s was 'Hecla household helps make happy healthy housewives!'. Hecla ceased manufacturing in Melbourne in the 1980s. Hecla Electrics Pty Ltd were a significant Melbourne manufacturing company, who became a household name in the 1920s making small electric appliances such as heaters and kettles. They also made a variety of other electrical appliances for domestic, commercial and military use. The company manufactured electric appliances in Melbourne from about 1922 until the 1980s, although Clarence Marriott, who formed the company, had begun making radiators with his father James in 1899. The company had a reputation for quality products. The company also played an important role within the Australian domestic and commercial appliance industry, both as a leading innovator and through its role in training skilled staff, many of whom went on to work for competitors such as Kambrook, Electrolux and Sunbeam. This electric kettle bottle warmer represents the typical small domestic appliance that the Hecla company was famous for. I am unable to test if this item works atm so will be selling this for parts only. Pick up reserervoir VICTORIA AUSTRALIA or can post.
