Since becoming essentially obsolete as an appliance of daily life

since when?? this doesn't seem very npov, people use backscratchers all the time still --24.181.231.132 02:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

The whole history section is a slight updating of the entry in the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. It's possible backscratchers have become more serious in the past century, but I don't have the specialist knowledge to be sure. Can you get them as you would any other grooming implement; can you get good quality ones? Or do you really generally get them in novelty stores? I know I got mine at Disneyland. However I think it's safe to take it out and won't damage the article. David Brooks 00:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
