I,m sure we,ve had a discussion on Bulpits (later Swan Brand) on here not long ago i,ll see if i can find it. They did have there own shop and it was in Spring Hill near the Library . Dek

Hi Terry, yes u did do that and i have gone through it and looked at all the pictures on there, think i was getting confused a little, as i didnt know they did Swan appliances, so my oppologys, the swan kettle in one of the pictures we had at home in the 70`s think it was stainless steel and it lasted years, it held quite alot of water, and the element was changed a few times by my father, when they made them they made them to last not like nowadays!!!

Thats ok Pam, I was just trying to save 2 threads going. My mother worked at Swan (Bulpitts) for years. The stuff she bought home was nobodys business, I don't know how she did it. She gave me a teasmade once but we never used it. We kept it for years but eventually we threw it away.
