Cool! Any idea how old it is? Kinda hard to make a working display with this. Have to do something about the exposed connections.

I have seen this exact old guy myself before! I would say this was from the 1940-1950s....The wiring setup was actually designed for series wiring setup!

It's not rust..it's the color of it.I think some kind of copper.....but the arm looks a bit rusty!

I've never seen one connected that way, cool. Is that a GE logo I see?

No, it is a Line Materials brand....and it USED to be wired in series I believe....that was why it was wired like that...
