Photometer Head (Sight Box), Lummer-Brodhun, Max Kohl
A Lummer-Brodhun cube and absorption screens are  mounted in the front of the box. One diagonal of  the cube is a contrast pattern that is observed using the telescope. A removeable partition separates the two spaces at the back of the box. The sight box is rotated about a horizontal axis so that light from the  two lamps can be viewed on either side of the cube.(1)
This was possibly made by the Max Kohl Company.
