Old Sparky was used to execute 312 men and three women between 1897 and 1963. The last time members of the general public could see the chair was when the old Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus offered tours, which ended in the early 1930s. The prison sold postcards of the electric chair and souvenir pictures of the condemned men until it discontinued the tours. The chair replaced hanging in 1897 as Ohio's method of execution.
