I'm pretty sure it's an ignition coil for an old farm tractor.

I remember seeing those when I was a young'un back some 60+ years ago.
But I can't remember which machine it was for...  sorry.

Thanks, Ralph, I feel sure you're right. I grew up in the country and once 
you mentioned tractors I could see their coils in my mind's eye. That's why 
it's sealed in waterproof phenolic, because it's exposed to the elements in 
the tractor's engine bay.

Pretty potent little coil, too.

regards,

Paul
