VINTAGE HAND BUZZER AD


VINTAGE HAND BUZZER AD

The hand buzzer, or joy buzzer, was invented in 1928 by Soren Sorenson Adams of the S.S. Adams Company. This practical joke device consists of a spring inside a disc worn in the palm of the hand. 

When you shake hands with another person, a button on the disc releases the spring, which rapidly unwinds creating a harmless, but surprising, vibration or buzz.

Reset the hand buzzer by winding it up. No batteries are used.

The hand buzzer is still made, although many are now manufactured of plastic that is not as effective. Tin City Magic still has the durable all metal Hand Buzzer so you can continue the tradition of practical joking!
