Group,

No dates on this but from the manufacturer's address (Dayton 18, Ohio) I'd 
guess late 40's-50's vintage.  Cast aluminum center fixture for a coaxial cable 
fed dipole, made by Cesco.  I think I vaguely recall these or similar units 
from my early issues of QST or CQ, or maybe Allied or BA catalogs.  Two arms 
where the antenna wire enters from each side, a hanging eye on top, and a clamp 
and hole at the bottom where the coax enters.

I've probably had it 30-40 years.  Unearthed it last week while doing some 
shack cleaning.  Unused with original instruction card.  I wouldn't suggest 
actually using it but it would make an appropriate period piece with a 50's 
vintage civilian ham gear collection (which I have none of).  $15.00 shipped CONUS.
