Is a way cool LARGE roomy polariscope probably used in a closed Ohio Panasonic plant.
and here
is an even cooler one from the same seller.

These have turrets that have half and quarter wave plates. The second one also has a large interference filter for the sodium D line.
I suspect they were doing something like making LCD panels or meter readouts or something similar.

These are in my humble opinion close to the ultimate in Polariscopes. I wouldn't be listing them except I already have one of each (also from Ohio) and my late sainted muther taught me to share with the other kids.

Somebody go git em. DOOS!!!

I just bid on both to keep them on my radar. My bids are WAY low so don't feel weird about outbidding me, anyone. :)
