Anyone Know What This Is? (Early 20th C. Electro-Mechanical gizmo)
I suspect it had something to do with the telegraph. There's a tag, but it's too corroded to read. The lettering on the glass case is highly stylized, seems to say 'Nun Co'. One of the coils says 'Struthers Dunn Inc. Philadelphia.' "Coil: 2A 60CY" "ContactsV110 AC"
The six posts are part of a circuit on the bottom, it doesn't look as though the two missing posts ever connected to anything. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give. Charlie White

Looks like two relays in a glass case. What does the circuit look like?
A search of dunco relays comes up with parts but no company history.

Just a (revised) guess...
It appears that DunCo is the retail "brand" of the Struthers Dunn Company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struthers-Dunn http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tbo=0&q=%2BDunCo+%22struthers+Dunn%22&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

Definately some kind of dual action relay. Looks like the stuff we used to have on our old power boards back when I started. I have tons of new S-D. relays in all my swithgear transfer feeders.
