History
In 2012, the Ninth Doctor identified the hairdryer as such while in the Vault, while Adam Mitchell had mistakenly thought it was a weapon. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"])
The hairdryer would later appear as one of the alien artefacts up for auction at the Ebonite Rooms, referred to as "Lot 27" in lieu of a precise name. It was sold by an auctioneer as a "heat ray disintegration device", though the Tenth Doctor recognised the object, again identifying it as a hairdryer.
