Boyd's Miniature galvanic Battery that supposedly worked by"galvanic action" due to the"union of metals.

Brass, and white metal, surrounding a central copper rosette. Boyd's 1878 patent date makes it one of the earliest quack medical devices.

peacekind presents: a no reserve. Low opening bid, final sale auction must sell. Please help me save our house, if you want details just message me! OLD. VINTAGE, ANTIQUE ITEMS IN CANCO TIN A FIND! GLORIA SWANSON AS POCAHONTAS BEAUTEBOX CANCO TIN INSIDE: BOYD'S BATTERY PATENTED JAN 17. 1878 OLD BLACK& WHITE ROY ROGERS PINBACK ANTIQUE PHOTOGRAPH LOCK BACK PIN OF WOMAN LEATHER HACKENBERG CHEVROLET. TURBOTVILLE, PA FOB? 1952 WHEAT PENNY I do not know much about the items in this tin other than what I have researched. They belonged to an artist friend who also collected antiques and oddities. See my about me page for more information about him. I am not a collector or expert and have no idea of value but hope to raise cash as soon as possible. The hinged tin is in good condition for it's age.

On one side is stamped Boyd's Battery, and the other is stamped Patented Jan 17, 1878, I did not take close up photos of this because at the time I had no idea what it was. I can try to get some but I don't know if my camera can capture the print. It is supposedly a magnetic healing battery from early medical quackery for rheumatic complaints, made of several types of metals and looks like it would need to be polished or cleaned. I think it has copper, steel, brass and another metal, but I don't know much about it other than what I have read online. There is also a black and white Roy Rogers photo pin or pinback, antique photograph of a woman pin that locks in place. The leather fob, not sure what it is, is marked Hackenberg Chevrolet, Turbotville, PA Phone 282. There is also a 1952 wheat penny. Please ask any questions and

An early advocate of galvanism promoted his battery as having healing qualities for a host of ailments. His pendants were the most commonly used in the late 19th century and there were a number of imitators. He patented his battery in America initially and shortly afterwards ... morein England. A small electric current is set up when metal are juxtaposed.

Ostensibly in whatever guise it manifested itself.
