We really love selling online. It allows us to offer all sorts of amazing, crazy, weird and wonderful objects to buyers all over the world 24/7/365. This small item sold last night so I thought I would share it with you today.
It is an old telephone magneto, crank it and it generates high voltage, low amperage static type electricity. I remember in 7th grade shop class Mr. Hooten had one of these that was a bit larger. It had two cords off of it with metal things to hold on to. When someone would misbehave they had to hold the two electrode things and he would crank it up fast. I remember seeing little kids hands and arms flailing away while he cranked it. We could also all join hands in a circle with one kid holding one electrode and another kid holding the other and Mr. Hooten would crank it and we all got shocked. Mr. Hooten loved doing that. Haha, what fun, those days are long gone.
