Violet Ray Set in Mahogany Box

 
A superb mahogany cased Violet Ray apparatus from the first half of the 20th century. Used as a panacea to 'cure' arthritis amongst other ills. I have not been able to get the brush to work and there may be a loose connection in the handle (although even the theoretical application for this is piece is rather tenuous). A very fine and otherwise fully functional unit (see photos) which displays beautifully.
