Sex Toy, 1952
What did a heavy-duty electric vibrator look like in 1952? Here, I’ll show you:
Don’t try and tell me this wasn’t being marketed for its unlimited orgasmic potential. Just look at that first line of the copy: “Like a magic wand, the spot reducer obeys your every wish…”
From a full page ad in the August 1952 issue of West magazine.

I got intrigued so I did a little search on the Internet Archive.
December 1946 in Movieland and 1947 ads in Christian Herald, Ebony, Hit Parader and Modern Screen. They did not show the device, but they were giving away a free large jar of lube:

March 1949, full page ad in Human Torch, no picture of the device:

From at least October 1950 to November 1951, they had a different design from that you show above, probably what they refer to later as the Standard Model rather than the Amazing Deluxe Model:
