Description
Coin-Operated "Electric Sailor", c. 1910
Cast-iron electric shock machine, probably by Polyphon Musikwerke, Leipzig. 25 in. high. Coin slot 5 American cent. Placing a coin in the sailor's shirt pocket and holding both of his hands while pushing back his right arm causes him to wink as he dispenses an electric shock. He winks his left eye, then his right and then both eyes shine at the same time. Good working condition! - With lock and key. - Literature: Nic Costa, "Automatic Pleasures", p. 144. - A giant rarity!
