• Year: 2004

• Type: Handheld Electronic Novelty

• Condition: Excellent, Fully Functional

Product Description: Up for sale is a rare, vintage The Oracle Stress-O-Meter electronic handheld novelty toy. Originally released in 2004 by Lagoon Games (part of the famous Loncraine Broxton design lineage), this "executive toy" is a perfect piece of Y2K-era office nostalgia.

How it Works: Place your hand or fingers on the sensors to check your "stress vibrations". The internal "Oracle" analyzes your levels and provides a humorous reading on the rotating dial. Are you "Cool as a Cucumber," "Utterly Overwrought," or perhaps "Catatonic"?

Condition Highlights:

• Excellent Condition: The unit is physically well-preserved with clear graphics on the dial.

• Fully Functional: Unlike many of these found in the "wild," this unit has been tested and works exactly as intended.

• Vintage Appeal: A great conversation piece for a desk, a fun gag gift, or a must-have for collectors of Loncraine Broxton novelties.

  The "Why" Behind the Info

  • Loncraine Broxton: This firm was famous for high-end "executive toys" and actually popularized the Newton's Cradle (the clicking silver balls) in the 1970s.

  • Lagoon Games: This was the partner/successor company that produced these quirky, gift-shop style handhelds in the early 2000s.

  • Rarity: These are getting harder to find in working condition because the batteries from 2004 often leaked and ruined the internal circuits. Since yours functions properly, it is significantly more valuable to a collector.
