Marlin,
The brass thing is an original Mallory condenser. I am pretty sure I found it on ebay. If you put "vintage Mallory" in Ebay search they come up with some regularity (1 to 2 x /month) although they're getting pricey i.e. I've seen transactions at upwards of $60 for an NOS in the box. Most who sell them don't know how to test them so that is a crap shoot - on the other hand they generally hold up well over time. Many will have slight splits in the brass casing but this does not necessarily affect performance and can be rotated on the dizzy to hide the split. The clips are the original cap clips on the Mallory dizzy that the Roofs used in their Deuce. I did my own plating to restore them to their original luster. Now that would be a fun father/son project!
