Technical Distributor cap, What does it fit?

OK folks,

I was out in the shop yesterday looking through some boxes of stuff I bought a while ago and came across the V8 Distributor cap. I have no Idea of what it is for Any thoughts?
I know it is an early car, I have seen this type of cap before< I cannot remember where or what it fits.

It looks new, never run.

british?

 

Squirrel,

You thinking Jag or RR?

 

Bently or RR? do some googling, see what you can find.

 

Sold a few of those type caps. The ones I had fit REO's

 

So, 300 Euro. now what do I do with such a thing. No clue how or where I got it.

 

Oh no!!! now you need the rest of the car

 

For once it's NOT a Dodge!

 

northeast caps for prewar packards look like that too

 

I'm sure those early RR/Bentlys had Delco electrics. Have you tried the cap on an early SBC distributor?

 

stude also?
