Possibly 1930's. Pretty cool find.

They said that Bell's detector didn't work because of the springs in the bed that President Garfield was lying on. That's a neat old detector. I don't think I have one of those yet. I've seen that ad somewhere before. . .and no, it wasn't in a current magazine at the time.
