Hudson Tuttle “Psychograph” or “Dial Planchette,” date unknown. Manufactured from the 1880s until the mid-1910s, the Psychograph has the distinction of being one of the world’s longest-manufactured spirit communication devices ever brought to market, as well as being one of the most diverse. To date, I’ve tracked just over a dozen survivors, and every. single. one. is different, either through color, font, border design, or back label content. It’s bonkers. This one is a favorite, and a true beauty. #talkingboard #psychograph #planchette #dialplanchette #ouija #seance #spiritualism #hudsontuttle #paranormal #psychic #occult #ohio https://www.instagram.com/p/B52guKpFyKl/?igshid=1smcm4xa50qy6

I’ve been super picky about my posts this summer, and I’m not sure why. I’m always loathe to post even new pics of something I’ve posted before, even if the last one came years ago. And there’s no real reason for that given the constant short term memory churn of social media, so I’m trying to loosen that up and bring forward more artifacts that I know a ton of followers here haven’t seen before. And the Tuttle Psychograph is a great example of that. I own a few and picking a favorite is hard, but the dirtiest, grungiest one has a special place in my heart. It’s *seen* things. Ohio Spiritualist Hudson Tuttle produced these devices for a few decades, so it could be from the 1880s all the way up to the 1910s.

Last week I posted one of Hudson Tuttle’s “Psychographs” or “Dial Planchettes,” and now here’s a fantastic illustration from an early advertisement showing the device in use.

Had to do a double-take on this 1900s Tuttle Psychograph advertisement yesterday, when I realized after seeing it for years that it was actually a different illustration than what appears in most of his dial plate ads, with two of the sitters trading places. Now it’s a new addition to the image archive! #psychograph #planchette #ouija #talkingboard #hudsontuttle #ohio #ouijaboard #seance #spiritualism https://www.instagram.com/p/CAAZwq7Fcxy/?igshid=crcbeb9j4i7m
