The Ford Barn

I picked this up off eBay. It was listed as a Model T coil tester however I don't think it is.
Basically it's just a wood box with a KW coil mounted inside.

On the outside there are 2 power wires with alligator clips, a spark plug cable and an on-off switch.

The coil is screwed to the outer box and the 3 connections are soldered to the coil. Would be difficult to put switch to a different coil There are remnants of a label on the box but not legible.

Any Idea what this was used for?
