The box says it’s for 15-17 model t. I’m assuming it’s a regulator for mag lights since it comes with two new bulbs. They are 6-8 volt. The instructions are so bug eaten and rotten they just crumble. I have no idea where it would mount, it comes with one bolt. Anyone ever seen them before?

They describe it as a "current regulator". That suggests a "choke", or inductor, which can be used to regulate mag output at higher engine speeds. I don't know why it would matter how it was mounted, unless it was oil-filled, which it may very well be. Another possibility is that it is a capacitor, which could accomplish a similar function. It could even be a "wet" capacitor, or a combination of induction coil and capacitor. I assume adding an inductor or capacitor or both to the system would not affect the ignition coil operation. Ford used an inductive regulator on some magneto light systems.
