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.
