Any idea on what this is?

I found this in a box of converters for plug-ends but it certainly is not that. It looks like it might be a light or maybe one of those devices that emits a sound that keeps mosquitoes away? I don't even know where it came from.

The plug end looks like a UK plug to me, a friend has something similar to keep rats and mice away via the emitted sound. What does it do if you plug it in? SY

I'm with SY on this one. The plug end is a UK plug.
I think it sends high frequency sounds. Peter.

Not just the UK/Ireland. Type G sockets are used in a surprisingly large number of countries. Many of them do have historic links with the UK though.

It is a foot massager. Work with it for a bit and you'll figure it out.

No offence, @koilife, but past experience prompts me to be sceptical about anything you say!

The mask Darth Vader wore as a baby?

It's obviously a useless object

Not really. We're getting some mileage out of it!

Judging by the emitter icon I agree - not made in the UK though as there's no replaceable fuse. From Cyprus perhaps?
