    This beautiful little box housed a medical devise of some sort, opens top and bottom. Just a nice size for trinkets and treasures.
    I've actually taken the time to read the instructions, and can't for the life of me figure out what this device was for!! Anybody??

      Thank-you Phil! After reading the entire instructions, I still am not sure what this was used for!LOL I think it was some kind of "shock therapy" device maybe!!
      Any thoughts??
