I have a bunch of them...you can find them in the 1941 Museum of London
Catalogue, as well as the Households book published by the same museum.  There
are both photographs of just about everything you can think of, along with
wonderful line drawings.  I can't remember if there's a grill off the top of my
head, but seem to remember that there is.  If you don't have access to either of
these books, let me know and I'll see if I can find a grill picture and send it
to you.
