The Psychorette—sometimes seen with the alternative "psychobrette" or "psycho-brette" spellings—received a fair amount of mention in the Spiritualist newspapers in the wake of the Ouija’s introduction in the early 1890s. It anticipates Braham's (and later Two Worlds') Spirit Communicator devices by a couple of decades, and Bigelow's similar 1931 patent by 40 years. How much inspiration these items gained from the Psychorette is unknown, but it is hard to believe they did not rely on the earlier success of Lees' heavily-advertised boards. Here’s one of those ads. It’s Saturday.
