That is a Wheatstone perforator used to create tapes for transmitting Morse Code. It punches one pattern for dots and another for dashes.

The below item is offered for an in-person estate auction this weekend
in Enfield CT. Hopefully someone local can pick it up.
It looks intact from the photo and from the tape you can see it's not
for baudot but maybe some other use. It does have a cord
likely for the punch and advancing the tape. It's definitely a Teletype
Corp unit from the tag. It's not the 14 reperf unit that I have been trying
for months to find, but could be a rare museum item, especially if for
Morse.
