I'm far, far, far from an expert on the subject, but it doesn't look like any I've seen.

Maybe try a different approach, assume it's not a tattoo machine and try to determine what it is.  I know there's lots of antique tool collectors and probably nearly as many websites and forums, maybe try them.

If you find out what it is, I hope you let us know.  I love old stuff and learning about it.  Good luck!

First thing that came to mind: http://electricpen.org/

I believe the electric pen was the predecessor of the modern tattoo machine, so it might add up.  Only funny thing is the lack of coils on yours.  Maybe missing?  Or I'm way off base...
