​Vintage National Electric Instrument Co. Medical Cautery & Diagnostic Set - Untested / Prop / Curio
Manufacturer: National Electric Instrument Co., Elmhurst, NY. Era: Circa 1940s-1950s. Includes: Main electric transformer/control unit with Bakelite dials, diagnostic lamp attachment, and various cautery/probe tips. Condition: Items show authentic vintage patina and surface oxidation consistent with age. Power cord is original and shows signs of wear; unit is sold as a non-working collectible/display piece only. Do not attempt to plug in without professional inspection. Perfect for: Medical history collectors, oddity displays, or as a unique theater/film prop.
Safety Warning: Because these use old wiring and insulation, they are considered collectibles only. I would strongly advise against plugging it in, as the internal insulation has likely degraded over 70+ years, posing a shock or fire hazard.
