Hello all,

I am a postwar guy but I came across this today via craigslist and bought it.  It was in the original box - a brick i might add, had porcelean posts for it and an odd plug attachment which looked like it hooks into a light socket.

Can anyone give me some insights on this old school transformer?  It's value, how to test it (or should i...)

 

any insight on this prewar item would be appreciated.

Unless you have 220 or 110 volt DC service mains, there is really nothing to test. 

It is a neat novelty item for display.
