mightyjoe Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Here's a pic of a Super RARE Victor Master Hand Gripper (right, w/3 springs) from the 1920's! I recently purchased this hand gripper from Dennis Rogers from a collection he had bought. NOTE: I have searched for over 20 years for one of these hand grippers! The ad behind the gripper is from a 1926 Strength magazine. Take a good look because you may possibly never see another one! ENJOY!!!

I kept the other parts of the ad page because I find old advertisements amusing. But a Victor Master Grip ad appeared before, in 1921, in Physical Culture. I attached that as well. Edit: attached a better resolution pic of the requested ad only Edited August 3, 2023 by matek 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
