The Supercharger item was a "gadget" sold in the 50's/60's to go on the coil wire to increase voltage to the sparkplugs. Tony

The chrome mechanical device looks like a bobbin winder from an older sewing machine. Sub

The address on the box was once "Jordan Radio Service"... Does the part that not shown say "authorized installer of recording devices"?, as that's what all of their ads said. Or, it could be that they expanded into sewing machine repair (and slightly changed their name) and it's just what Sub said above.

Thanks Don. Very good, I looked and you found so much more on it than I probably ever could.

Thank Tony for the quick ID it helped me know how to list it for sale.

Yes it does, here is a better picture and it has a very old phone number. I guess if I can ever date the phone # I can get an idea of age.
