Looks like a Swan antenna. I had a 2 element 40 meter Swan antenna at 50
feet in the 80's, worked like gang busters. Still have the balun in my junk
box, it screwed right on the input there. Mine had two coils covered in
black about the size on old oil can on each element. Those clamps look very
familiar. I think I might have some pieces of it still out in the junk pile,
will look for them later.

OK, I finally got some pictures of the two element antenna I'm trying to
identify. The antenna on the right side of the photos is a vertical and I
know what it is. The unknown antenna is described below and has cast parts.
