Magneto-electric machine for nervous diseases - "electric shock machine" in mahogany case with lock and key C1890.
Unusual design with two horseshoe magnets, complete, original and working.
Developed in the 19th Century for medical use they were probably ineffective - but maybe they did work.
Great "coffee table" novelty that people like to look at. Please note magnets can interfere with ICDs and pacemakers.
