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.

    Love it!

    I've been looking for a good electric chair and this one is it! Had to distress it a bit for my broken-down lab scene but this one fits the bill just right.

    I didn't need one, but I needed it.

    I genuinely have never found something for dollhouses that immediately made me instantly purchase.

    Tip: If the wood to the head piece breaks (it's very fragile and thin, so it's not surprising at all) just take and gently pull the wire away a bit and glue/repair and paint it then use the wire to kinda "hide" it.

    Its adorable if you can call a torture device that. So realistic, I assume.
    Love it! Will look fantastic for my mini Halloween scene.
