Wire for 1930s electric kettle?

Muahahaha · 2015-05-04 12:25:03

Just wondering if anyone knows if there was a 'standard' cable for electric kettles from this era. The one I'm looking at is here, you can see the socket in the third picture, looks like they use a cable with two round pin plugs on it, is this a name for these?…

Some pictures here might help, No 6 looks like it would fit that kettle.
Zero chance of locating one though.
