Description
ELABORATE ELECTRO-MEDICAL SET, French, c. 1900, signed on the box “Electricite, Madame Taberlet, Paris,” on the galvanometer face “Charles Chardin, Paris,” and numbered “B127.” The 11″ x 6-1/4″ x 3-3/8″ (28 x 16 x 9 cm) fine wood box opens out to reveal three batteries behind glazed windows, 11 connecting posts (labeled “+,” and 1 to 10), a magnetic compass galvanometer with conversion table between degrees and milliamperes, and fitted compartments for the connecting wires, hand grips, conducting roller ball, and electric needles. Condition is very fine noting one small accessory lacking. A handsome, elaborate, and rather unusual electromedical outfit.
