Steampunk vibrators taking over the Victorian sex toy market

Out of Harrisburg, that humble outpost in the Pennsylvanian West, comes a new shop for fans of anachronistic stimulation: Lady Clankington's Cabinet of Carnal Curiosities is the world's "first ever line of steampunk adult novelty items," according to their website.
And, to be honest, I kind of believe them, because I've certainly never seen any sex toys like these:
To verify the legitimacy of these Victorian sex toys, here are some testimonials taken from the website:
“While attending the 104th Sussex Manservant Rally, Lady Stotescrue and I cheered on our favorites as they pulled their wagons around the second bend. At about this time, Lady Stotescrue pulled out a tiny, practically limp little weapon and complained that she was having the most dreadful time achieving any kind of satisfaction in her duels. She was in absolute distress and I just had to introduce her to my Little Death Ray. After going behind the refreshment tent and firing it just once, I was forced to attempt to wrest it from the veritable death grip she had on it. I don't dare let it out of my site again!” -- Dame Edith Weesleshague
“NEED MORE VOLTAIC CELLS!” -- Lady Chagswell

Harrisburg is in central Pennsylvania, and is, in fact, just a little bit east of center.
Because I'm a know it all.
....And, I'm not really surprised that Harrisburg has this; not too far away, on Gettysburg, is a woman who makes her living making period-accurate women's undergarments for Civil War re-enactors. This kind of stuff must be in the air up there.
Apologies, andrea! Guess I just figured that any PA town west of Philly was Western PA.
Would be nice if the glass in the gun had a lite and lit up :)
