Or possibly an interstage or driver transformer with split primary and 
secondary windings.

Try taking an ohmmeter to figure out which terminals go to windings, by 
checking out continuity.  Then put a few volts a.c. from a filament 
transformer onto one of the windings, and measure voltage output from the 
other windings to determine turns ratio.  Also, the dc resistance might give 
a clue.  110/200v primary should  show up as 10-15 ohms, a couple of ohms or 
less could be a filament winding or low impedance speaker winding of an 
output  transformer, 100-500 ohms  could be the hv winding of a power 
transformer or an audio winding at a  few thousand ohms, and 500 ohms or 
more would indicate a higher voltage power transformer output or higher 
impedance audio winding.

If you thing it is a filter network, try sweeping with a signal generator 
across the audio spectrum to see what the frequency response is.
