Filter Queen Vibrator

A 1950s gadget that, when attached to the hose of your vacuum, transformed it into a vibrating massager.

"Directions: The Filter Queen Vibrator should be inserted into the wand end of the hose and the hose fastened to the suction inlet of the Filter Queen... For use, place hose on neck, shoulders or other parts of the body to be massaged. See illustration on opposite side of box."
