I think that was actually some kind of a taser.

You know, that zapper thing is about 2 seconds away from becoming "real" for those who suffer from depression.

I thought they used to sell those at Sharper Image or Brookstone. Supposed to be a hair follicle stimulator, although I'm sure it's total garbage.

Know this post is a little old, but figured I'd answer anyways.

It's called a violet ray or violet wand, built in the 1900s for medical purposes. It delivers a low current of electricity to the body, and was believed to cure everything from baldness, headaches, and skin conditions. Of course, it's total BS and violet rays are now sold as a collectible "Quack Medicine" item in antique stores and ebay.
