Saw it last year and said I should get that, here it was again. Used to have wire leads on it, so I need to get in there and re-attach something.

Just kind of an oddball piece.

Any idea what year this was sold/mfg'd?

It's really hard to tell when this was made, but this was designed for radio batteries that pre-dated the common line-operated tube sets of the late 30s. I'd say this was probably sometime between the start of 30s and the beginning of WWII, as this type of set would have been well obsolete (except in rural areas) by then, and only because rural America hadn't been fully electrified yet.

The top jack with 5 pins is for a common ABC battery (Filament/Plate/Bias) used in battery sets.

I was way off, I was thinking late50's early 60's. That might be worth some cash cleaned up nicely.
