It appears to be, in essence, a generator test set of the type that uses field resistance instead of a carbon pile to check output. This will match a high percentage of the test procedures in prewar manuals.

 

Of special note is the meter that can read down to a tenth of a volt on a 6 volt system (count the graduations between 6 and 7 on the yellow scale). In theory there should be a lot of old equipment that can do that, but it sure doesn't seem to turn up much these days. Setting up 6v voltage regulators with anything less is iffy at best. If I had not already built an analog instrument from scratch(!) with that capability, I would be all over it. Good luck with the sale.
