Must be on a plug top and you must have used it in the last year.
Mine is a weller soldering gun think I got this for my 12th birthday in 1972. 2 heats and instant warm up trigger action. This is a pic from the net and the pins on the plug are not shielded

Not got a picture, but until a few weeks ago I had retained my Stanley Swing Brace and several sized wood bits, someone recently called it a "Brazen bit" seems they weren't listening to their mentor properly

Early 80's Breville sandwich toaster. Served me up with tasty snacks when I was a kid and now doing the same for my kids.

Commodore 64 I bought the 'kids' for Xmas 1983, Second-hand Scalextric set I bought the 'kids' for Xmas 1985, and a Sky Analogue Box I bought, cough, for the 'kids' for Xmas 1993. All still in the loft, waiting for Antiques Road Show 2045, when some bod will tell they're worth a fortune, along with the lost masterpiece I've kept all these years.

So what's the wattage of that Pete, bearing in mind the thread is about items with a plug on them ?

 

[HandySparks]

Only thing that comes instantly to mind is a chest freezer bought in 1983. A bit tatty but still working OK.
