Description: *****CLEARLY THE CLEANEST BEST 1854 PATENTED DAVIS & KIDDER'S QUACK MEDICAL BOX AROUND!***** When one finds an example of this particular quack box by Davis & Kidder, it is always bungled up and internally the parts are all scratched and the magnet is worn and also, the label in the lid is stained and messed up. Also, sometimes one of the 4 brass box corners is chipped away and lost. Also, the original electrode handles are replaced with later ones and also the connecting cord wire is replaced the newer red and green wires from an 1890's quack medical box of limited interest. With an additional label of C. L. Klein - NYC - who was the canvasser back in the day who sold this piece to the public. Wear and tarnish is consistent with age and use. Please see all photos are they are part of the description. In very good shape. The lacquer, even down to the gearing - is miraculously untouched. With ORIGINAL pulley belting. With ORIGINAL electric wire cording. With ORIGINAL electrode handles - one wood and brass and the other the tin cylinderform. About as clean as a whistle as one will ever see or get to purchase! Top front edge of lower case missing some wood slivers owing to the box having been pried open because of a lost key. The upper lock latch plate is broken away. Even the two BRASS HINGES and BRASS HINGE SCREWS are totally immaculate! AN AMAZING EXAMPLE! AS SHOWN ABOVE - SOLD "AS-IS" - NO RETURNS. ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE EXECUTING A "BUY IT NOW."
