A remarkably preserved, highly complete example of The "Histion" Apparatus, manufactured by Antibody Products Ltd. in Bushey, England. This early 20th-century electrodiagnosis device was designed and approved by its originator for the "Controlled Application of Histamine" and the diagnosis and treatment of asthma and allergies.
This beautifully preserved unit is an ideal piece for collectors of oddities, medical history, weird science, or unique industrial decor.
Condition & Completeness
This set is in excellent vintage condition and represents a rare "complete" configuration:
The Main Apparatus: The black-cased control unit is cosmetically excellent. The front dials, faceplate text, and the "Histion" branded moving-coil voltmeter dial face are fully intact, clear, and clean.
Original Presentation Case: The textured black wooden case is structurally sound with a functional latch. The inner lid features crisp, unblemished red and black instructional print.
The Literature Bundle: Includes the highly sought-after original paperwork: the official instructional manual issued "to the Medical Profession only" and the "Directions for use in Asthma and Allergy" booklet.
Accessories: Comes complete with its original red and black wiring test leads, alongside two period-correct, boxed Elastocrepe Wrist Straps manufactured by the makers of Elastoplast.
Disclaimer: Sold strictly as a historical collectible and medical curiosity. This item is untested, non-functional for modern medical use, and is intended for display purposes only.
