While I'm asking can anyone tell me why I can't post more than 1 picture at a time.

It looks to me like a coil tester. The two sockets are for light bulbs and the Brass items would be for spark plug. The light bulbs and spark plug would add resistance to measure the coil amperage draw accurately.
 
It is a coil tester. I have one and added an amp gauge to it to set the coils with.
Works well.
 
It isn't able to help adjust coils properly, because it has no way to detect double sparking, and it does not allow you to adjust current properly (even with an amp meter hooked up).

It will be of use in determining if a coil can buzz. It does let you test bulbs to see if they illuminate. I have one just like it on my garage wall for decoration. Useless really, but neat to look at.

Well that explains it well. I removed the cover and the tester was rewired so I plug it in put a coil in it buzzes wow I jumped a mile. So I agree it will make a great wall hanger.
