Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
Dr. John Wilson Gibbs Electric Massage Roller was sold as a beauty tool to rid your complection of wrinkles and blemishes. You would roll the device on your face I think hopefully creating some static electricity and create a spark. What can I say...it was sold in the 1890's. There was a lot of buzz about electricity. This item sat in my parents attic for years. I found it when I was a teen and thought it was pretty cool. I also found an ancient sun lamp and that is another story. (Turned out bad).
For Sale?:
Yes, list item as "For Sale"
