HAUNTED RAPPING CHEST. Columbus, OH: Nelson Enterprises, ca. 1950. Brass-bound wooden chest is shown empty, yet on command, ghostly rapping noises are heard from within. Questions posed to the ghost apparently inhabiting the chest are answered by raps, once for “yes” and twice for “no.” 9 ¼ x 6 ½ x 5 ¾”. Mechanism modernized and restored. The first example we have encountered. Rare. Crafted in the same style as Nelson’s prediction chests, but without a lock and key assembly to close the box. The mechanism for this chest was built for Nelson by Bill Dodson of Louisville, who manufactured many of Nelson’s other electronic marvels.
