Wow, what a trip. The Russell Hobbs chrome-on-copper (number 11, first page of the '76 catalog) is like a wormhole to my childhood kitchen. I remember that red rocker switch so clearly now, how it felt to turn it on and off. It was beautifully spring loaded, so you'd push it a bit then the spring would take over and snap it on. My mum taught me how to make her a cup of tea when I was old enough to reach it - well before I liked the stuff.
- ris 3y agoWas going to say the same thing, only ours was the stainless steel one (No. 10). Lasted us well into the 90s.

- scrumper 3y agoI mean they did, the kettle was built in 1976 :)
