Found a square looking thingie
but not shure what it is or what
it was used for.

Looks like something to give electric shock.

Definetly looks like solder joints on the contacts. Could be the top of a battery although it looks pretty old for that. It has something to do with current of that I am pretty sure.

I'd go with the battery top/coil

Could indeed be a sealed battery, but I'm betting on an oil-filled capactior, AKA condenser. Show it to the oldest electrician or radioman you can find to be sure.
