Super Rare Hand Gripper

Recommended Posts

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!!!

This is epic!! No idea these kind of grips were even thought of in the 20's, let alone made!

That's the ad for that gripper, correct?  Can you post a pic of just that ad?

I don’t think Joe has been on the board in years. :) The post you quoted is from 9 years ago. Maybe he’ll see it though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In case he won't check, here is the ad. It's from the advertising section of Popular Mechanics. 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

Does anyone know what happened to Joe? I find myself wondering that not infrequently.
