Technical My turn for a What is it? thread

I'm doing a bit of a purge around my shop and I ran across this little gem. It appears to be a dual coil assembly of some kind on what looks like a factory bracket with some ancient resistors. Can anyone offer some specifics? I don't need it so it will probably end up in the calsifieds, uhh classifieds.

 

A pair of post-war flathead Ford coils on a stock bracket. Probably shocked a Harmon-Collins dual coil distributor at one time.

 

What Alchemy said.

 

Yeah, sort of a Freudian slip of the fingers. Thanks, that was too easy, I'll try harder next time. I guess that shows my limited experience with flatheads. Like VWs, I never felt compelled to mess with them. I'm an OHV guy.

 

Oh, I saw what you did there. Thanks for the laugh.
