ADVERTISEMENTS

Who doesn't fear being buried alive? Fortunately, Franz Vester came up with a solution, way back in 1868. (The basic idea of "safety coffins" goes back further, however — at least to the 1820s.)

He even illustrated his invention with Abraham Lincoln in the coffin.

Patent 0,081,437 figure 4
