Automatic Writing Planchette for Spiritual Communication and Investigations - Oak Veneer with 360deg Wheels

Though planchettes experienced great surges of popularity in Victorian times, in modern usage the term is most commonly associated with the heart-shaped pointers for Ouija or "talking boards." Rather than writing, these devices "dictate" messages by pointing to the board's printed letters and numbers. As writing planchettes were popularised during the beginning of the Spiritualism movement of the mid-19th century, planchettes predate the popularisation of talking boards by nearly four decades.
