That is a timer the likes of which I have never seen. More education.

That’s one for the timer collectors. The roller looks like a standard type.

I have a roller like the one pictured but mine has Ford script on it and looks like it is NOS. I don't have the timer itself though.

I have one identical to this. I "think" it is one of Milwaukee's designs? But not absolutely certain. Check carefully to see if the roller is offset compared to standard Ford or Tiger timers. It was a long time ago, but I once had a model T that off and on ran terribly, even though EVERYTHING checked out good. Or so I thought. One day I was looking it over again, and pulled the timer to check it (again). I had a white grease that used to be recommended in model T timers, and suddenly realized the track of the roller left in the grease was almost OFF the timer's contacts (too far back if I recall correctly?).I was using a Tiger timer, but the roller was a NOS one with no name on it.
Quick measurements showed it was the roller that was odd. NO other roller I had matched that roller. And all the other rollers I had lined up inside the Tiger timer perfectly! Changed the roller and that T always ran very well after that (until I sold it at least?)
I had a Milwaukee timer (name was on the timer body on that one!), and carful measuring showed it had an offset that matched the odd roller. The funny thing is, that I have measured a few other Milwaukee timers and found they matched the common Tiger and Ford timers. So, I don't know? Did Milwaukee make an odd model with the different offset? And maybe they only made a few of them?
