Weird looking thing. See full description on What is it???

A fellow ICON member sent me the following information which I'm sharing with others:

That's a low voltage (600V nominal operating range) lightning arrester, made by the Line Materials Co. probably between the 40s and early 60s. A lot of these were used on RR signal lines for protection. Typically the latter circuits ran at 480 volts.
