Description:
An electric massager housed in a leather-covered suitcase with velvet-lined compartments within. Included are a number of rubber attachments, an oil dropper, and the cables in which to power the device.
Housed in a wooden case, the lid opens to reveal a battery with an oscillator transformer. Additionally there are two wooden handled electrodes, two sponge electrodes, two metal tube electrodes, a foot plate electrode, and some additional cording. The directions for use are under the top lid. The lid closes with an eye-latch, and has a metal handle for carrying.
In a folding leather wallet, there are seventeen thin vials, featuring a paper label with their contents written upon it. Nearly all the vials still have their cork sealer, and many still have some sort of content within, primarily pills.
