"It was my new-age moms in the 80’s."
A: "My Mother took me to a quack homeopathic doctor, and she actually used this on me. The patient holds the brass handle, and the “Doctor” places a small glass jar with some sort of food or other thing on the pad. The “Doctor” then will then use the other probe and touch the bottom of your bare foot. And somehow they can tell if you are allergic to whatever is on the pad with a reading on the meter."

One of the things I like about the internet you can ask questions about weird stuff and usually get answers from nice people.

#11 Either I'm old or someone's really stupid to not know that that's a wall-mounted ashtray.

Governor, Yeah, I'm 73yo so I knew immediately what it was. But, smoking inside buildings hasn't been allowed for quite a few years, so kids today wouldn't have any idea. Just like something that I saw on TV, kids were given a rotary phone and told that it was a phone and gave them 10 minutes to make a call. None of them could figure it out. To us, it seems simple, but EVERYTHING is simple if you know how to use it.
