Beschrijving van de verkoper
A rare and highly collectible early electrotherapy apparatus dating from the beginning of the 20th century, preserved in its original wooden case with numerous original accessories.
Based on comparable surviving models and the overall construction, this instrument is likely manufactured by Dr. Spamer (USA). The manufacturer’s badge is present but no longer fully legible; therefore, the attribution cannot be guaranteed and is based on comparison with similar documented examples.
The set includes:
* Original wooden electrotherapy apparatus
* Original glass wet battery
* Original electrode cables
* Two original electrodes
* Two metal cylinders
* Original wooden accessory box
* Additional original components as shown in the photographs
Electrotherapy devices of this period were used for various neurological and therapeutic treatments and today are highly sought after by collectors of antique medical and scientific instruments.
The apparatus is offered strictly as a historical collector’s item. It has not been tested and is therefore sold as non-working.
Condition
Good antique condition with an attractive original patina, age-related wear and oxidation consistent with its age. A small section of the lower wooden edge has become detached; however, once the apparatus is placed on display, this is virtually unnoticeable. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
Period: circa 1900–1925.
Professionally packed and shipped with care.
