    Recently, my sister and a friend of hers were going through an dilapidated fire station when they found 2 of these sitting in a pile of garbage. Anyone have any ideads what they might be?

    One idea my brother had is a wire stripper, though I seriously doubt that.

    I see sold prices from $40-$100 for the Bunnell marked versions. Yours looks a little weathered, but still a decent "trash" find.

    Absolutely! Thank you! She'll be happy to know it's a telegraph lightning surge protector basically!
