Patent Magneto Electric Shock Machine - Possibly an older Davis & Kidder unit?
Here is a very old. Ornate shock machine. It looks like an older version of the Davis& Kidder units, but I am not 100% sure. The directions in the lid of the box do look like Davis& Kidder. The magnet and coil unit look like Davis& Kidder also. But no where does it say Davis& Kidder. If you look at the main wheel. It is a very ornate casting. So is that handle. The frame rails are made of brass, which are not corroded in any way. This is a no reserve auction and the shock machine will go to the highest bidder. Don't miss a chance to get your hands on one of these! Shipping and insurance is $24.95.

Davis and Kidder's Patent Magneto-Electric Machine and a Dry Cell Device
Here we have two grand examples of the height of modern patent medicine technology from the 19th Century. I found the Davis and Kidder's Patent Magneto-Electric Machine in the attic of my 1825 built farmhouse when I took possession. The Dry Cell device was found in the attic of another house I was cleaning out. Here is what you get: The Davis and Kidder's Patent Magneto-Electric Machine in the condition shown in the pictures. The belt is actually a leather thong. I have cranked the machine quite rapidly but I was unable to get a voltage reading. If you feel the need to treat your Nervous Diseases with this machine. You will have to clean the contacts and probably re-energize the magnet. The magnet is still magnetic, though not as strong as it was when new. The key to the lock is missing. The handle on the crank is missing and there ... moreis a bend in the arm. Take a close look at the pictures. You also get the two finger cups and wires with the eyehole pins on the ends. The pins originally were split and have lost one half of the split shaft. You can see this in the pictures. The patent date of the machine is August 1, 1854 according to the label with the instructions and April 18, 1854 according to the box stamp. The second item is a box with much the same purpose as the machine. It is a nice wooden box that has seen worse treatment. But contains batteries to store electricity to be delivered for the same therapeutic purposes as the machine. The controls appear to be all there, but there is a battery missing under the top half cover. There is no data plate and I chose not to disassemble it to see what all the writing on the big battery was about. This item has no electrical charge and I would be shocked if it would take or hold one. Based upon a rolled up piece of news print found in side, dated May 5th, 1904, it is obviously a 19th Century relic. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding and look closely at all the pictures. This is an as is auction and my intent is to get these in the hands of a c
