I found three of these in a box of assorted red drop caps I picked up. Can anybody ID it? The body color is a brighter green than the photo shows. Attachment:

Larry, Reed relay, SPST. The outside windings are the coil. The axial leads are the NO contacts. You should be able to meter the coil resistance. Pete edit... found this, similiar style: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dunco-Reed-Rela ... 0400030989

It's one of two things...... A trigger coil for Zenon discarge bulb or a reed relay.

My guess is it's a reed relay. What resistance does the coil winding measure?

Measure from the top pin to the bottom pins, Whats the resistances? Then only measure the bottom 3 pins. Whats the resistances between them?

Larry I see 2 long leads. Above you state 3 leads. If all three leads have continuity, It's a trigger coil. If the two center leads have no continuity to any adjacent leads, then it's probabily a reed relay.
