Antique Collector, Todd Waters, is “The Chiro-Picker”

For this article my focus is on radio related items from chiropractic history.
The first chiropractic relic I discovered has probably been my best find yet — 1931 BJ Palmer voice recordings on five acetate records. Prior to this picking, I didn’t know who this BJ Palmer character was. I just knew unusual spoken word records were a good sell, and these old recordings were probably valuable.
“Very quickly I began to take an interest in Palmer…. I liked this guy.”

For this Fresh Pick, I’d like to talk about one of my favorite items to discover: Autographs! Autograph collecting was my introduction to the life of a picker.
I never will forget the thrill of receiving my first celebrity autograph through the mail when I was nine… And it is this same thrill I hope to recapture every time I go picking for treasures.
My Early Autograph Collection
Most times I do not strike gold — but I know it’s out there to be found. And I still get a little thrill every time I go looking.
Most of all, autograph collecting has taught me patience. Just like waiting for the postman to deliver a signed photo of my latest hero, I wait for great chiropractic relics to enter my radar. A good picker is always on the lookout.

My absolute favorite “Chiropractic Find” to date has been the Adams Suit Case Table. Perhaps the first company-manufactured chiropractic adjusting table made, this table’s origins date back between 1908 to 1916.

Mr. Todd Waters, chiropractic antique collector
Regular Listeners of Spinal Column Radio should remember our famed antique collector, Todd Waters.
It was Todd Waters’ fantastic find that helped reconnect many in our profession with the lost 1931 BJ Palmer Broadcast Radio Recordings.
(Listen to Episode 017 to hear the whole story in the first of our five-part series).
Little did Todd know that finding these recordings, and then sharing them with the world through our podcast, would ignite a chiropracTIC passion in his soul — a chiropractic passion for its history and its “stuff.”
“After sharing the lost 1931 BJ Palmer audio recordings with Spinal Column Radio and getting a crash course in chiropractic history, I found myself wanting to discover more. So I put my antique picking skills to use to try to find the artifacts that would help tell the chiropractic story. It’s a good one.
I am not a chiropractor. I am Todd Waters, the Chiro-Picker, and these are my finds….”
So, stay tuned for periodic blog posts here on SpinalColumnRadio.com from the Chiro-Picker himself highlighting some of his coolest finds!
