Make sure to check out all of my sales after you look at this one. I\'m listing an eclectic assortment of mechanical, technological and musical antiques, and I suspect there will be something to interest just about everyone.Here\'s an excellent, beautifully constructed electro-therapy kit dating to the late 1800\'s and utilizing a pair of inductive coils to administer a \"healing\" shock to the patient, regardless of the patient\'s affliction -- dispepsia, headaches, malaise, mumps, measles, Scarlet Fever, leprosy -- you name it, the box could cure it.
Unlike most 19th century electro-shock \"quack\" medical kits -- which were sold through mail order catalogs and built to a price rather than to a standard -- this kit is exceptionally nice, with no compromises to quality.
Condition is excellent to near mint throughout. All parts are original, and the cabinet\'s wood finish is original. Nickel plating on the hardware is original, and it still gleams. Coil wrappings are original, and they\'re pristine. Original paddles and probes, original wires, original batteries, both of which still fit neatly inside the battery compartment.
