Love to see a photo of the device & a description of it's condition , stevem21x .
Found two court cases about your item , in 1946 at the U.S. National Library of Medicine website .
There are many collectors of medical-quackery devices around the world & websites with forums/contact #'s & such might be a boon to you finding out about it's value (to a collector) .
Many med-quak devices I see around (depending on condition) seem to run in the 'asking' $50 to $200 USD range .
