Rare, unusual, X ray tube, Cathode tube, Frankenstein? Has a name and # on the center copper piece.
Seems like it says Marchell or Marche 2? The small electrode on one end is a little loose , shaky but it does not look broken, it is still attached. Closer inspection and it looks like a seam in the glass is separated so you could say it is broken but looks like a loose seam if that makes sense. The wire is keeping it together.
