Description: Unusual circa 1900's podiatry device reads "Dr. Griffith's Arch Corrector - Patent Pending - Kansas City, MO." I doubt this works, and would put it into the quack medicine category. Painted in cream color, it has a raised nubby roller and a round spot to place patient's heel. From looking at similar items, I know this piece was in production for multiple years in many forms. I see from more recent iterations this was labelled "Dr. F. H. Griffith's....". This particular piece was recently de-aquisitioned from the Old City Park museum in Dallas TX where almost all items dated from late 1800's to 1900. Their inventory number is marked on the lower left side adjacent to the roller support (#00.69.1). Condition: Very good giftable condition. Mentionable issues: Paint loss in numerous places and cracks as clearly shown in photographs. Raised portion spins as it should. Graphics intact. No missing parts. Dimensions: 8.5” Wide x 9.5” Long x 4-1/8” High Unpacked weight: 1 lb. 7 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
