"Old Sparky" Dollhouse Miniature Electric Chair

The electric chair was devised as a more humane means of execution and replaced hanging. Developed by two employees of Thomas Edison, the electric chair was first used in 1890. Throughout the 20th century, more than 25 states adopted it to carry out executions. Nicknames for "the chair" include “Old Sparky”, “Sizzlin’ Sally”, “Old Smokey,” and “Gruesome Gertie."

This miniature version is 1/12 scale, which is the most common scale for dollhouses and dollhouse miniatures. It means that if an object is 12 inches in real life, it is sized down to a one inch as a miniature. It measures  2 1/4" W x 4 5/8" H x 2 1/4" D.
