Found in my collection while preparing to move.

The "fitall" plug.

From the time when the UK had several different plug standards (circa 1960's)

After the second small disagreement there was a shortage of copper and brass for some reason. Coupled with the fact we had a 2, 5 and 15 Amp round pin standard.

So we ended up with a new plug (BS1363), and a new wiring system (ring final)

The new plugs were better as they had square pins, better for making decent connections. They had other safety features such as fuses and finger guards.

Fast forward a few years and you still had houses around with a mix of 2, 5, 15 Amp round pin, and 13A square pin.
Enter, the enterprising Fitall plug. With all the various connections you might need.

Just flip the lever, select which pins and either screw or twist them to lock in place.

Easy >.>
