This is likely a hoax. Source is not trustworthy. There is not a single scholarly or historical source that mentions this device. It is similar to the "Spanish Tickler" which had similar sources and ended up being one of the longest lasting Wikipedia hoaxes. BananaBaron (talk) 03:32, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Insufficient coverage in RS. Catrìona (talk) 20:42, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
