What can it be ???
Some kind of antique lighting effects box? Both discs spin creating different combinations of colors?

A lovely idea but no ... it is not an early Pink Floyd type light effect machine ...

Not a capacitor or resistor. Another clue. Used in the kitchen.

Is it an automatic pot stirrer?

Yes. It has four batteries in it and three speeds. The most fantastic gadget I ever bought.
When you have a recipe that calls for low heat or medium heat and constant stirring it takes forever. With this gadget it sits in the pot and just revolves with the paddle stirring. When I make lemon pie now it's almost automatic. As soon as the gadget slows down it's thick enough.
Also great for soup. I bought it about four years ago at the Dollarama. I have never seen one since.

Greyson I don't know what that item is but whoever had it sure didn't take care of it.

CEE-CEE got the answer right yesterday it is a tool for testing eyesight! They were quite common at railroad stations, where they were used to gauge the eyesight of potential employees. Similar devices are still used in optometrists’ offices to this very day!

Here's a tough one. The last one I gave was too easy. Anyone need a clue, just ask.
