Electromechanical vibrators were first used in medicine in 1878 and were available as a consumer product by 1900. The vibrator was the 5th home appliance to be electrified. It was preceded by the sewing machine, fan, teakettle, and the toaster. It would be another ten years before the electric vacuum, iron, and frying pan became available as consumer products.
Electric vibrators powered by A.C. electric power are by far the most common vintage vibrators to be found. About 80% of my collection fall into this category and I have many interesting examples yet to be added to this site.
I have been trying to decide how to organize the collection for display. Initially I am trying to present a timeline of styling from 1900 to the present day. After the basic timeline is established I will work on timelines for the major manufactures.
