| seller note | Vibraphone Vintage Hearing Aids Sterling Silver in Box ~Johannesburg version. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE QUACK MEDICINE HEARING AID 'VIBRAPHONE' IN SILVER AND IN ORIGINAL BOX FROM JOHANNESBURG WHICH IS INTERESTING IN ITSELF AS USUALLY I BELIEVE THEY ORIGINATED IN ENGLAND AND WERE ALSO SOLD IN USA .IN SILVER WITH 'VIBRAPHONE' IMPRESSED AND LEFT AND RIGHT INDICATORS ALSO IMPRESSED ON EACH.2 CM LONG SO NO WONDER PEOPLE WANTED ONE AS OTHER AIDS WERE SO LARGE AND BULKY. |
