Antique Quack Medical Battery Quire Box - An intriguing late 19th to early 20th-century turn-of-the-century quack medical apparatus housed in an oak wooden case with brass hardware, featuring double-hinged top and bottom access compartments. The underside opens to reveal the internal electro-therapeutic induction coil mechanism with nickel-plated cylinder shield and adjustment components, while the top lid houses a metal plate, tubular electrode accessory, an original mounted instruction label for a ”Single Cell Medical Battery”, and an accompanying booklet titled ”Medical Electricity at Home” by O. G. Tradewell. Shows moderate age-appropriate wear throughout including light surface scratches and oxidation to metal elements, cloth tearing on the base cover, light staining, and shelf wear to the wooden box, though the wood retains a rich patina and structural integrity overall.
