This is a coil and armature tester, I think for Model T. Can anyone tell me for sure?

The large diameter part is an actual flywheel and magneto field coil from a Model T Ford. When cranked by hand it puts out the same voltage as a car would supply and is used to check and adjust an ignition coil which is inserted at the bottom. These are popular and desirable items, just hard to ship as they are both heavy and fragile ( the ammeter and spark ring).

The Model T Ford Club of America has a forum where your question will gain a lot of answers including the wiring diagram for the unit. It is a hand-cranked coil tester, and the meter can also be hooked to a car to test the magneto. Rare items, they usually sell between $500 to $1200 on e-bay depending on condition - the higher price being a restored unit, the lower is a realistic expectation for your machine.

I should mention that fragile is key in the message above- the best way to ship the unit is disassembled and in separate boxes for the items mentioned above. I damaged the meter on my unit one time and it was not easy to have repaired.
