It's a sprayer head, but for a conventional set up. The threaded pipe pointing down in the picture is where the material cup would attach and the one pointing right is the air hook up.
It's an oddly configured head. Looks like trigger is coming out the top in the picture.
You could buy a cup and some air fittings and try it out. Probably standard size would fit. Might be easier to just buy a cheap cup gun, they aren't very expensive anyway.

It's definitely a conventional spray head. But the way the trigger is configured and it being made out of what looks like brass it could be 50-60 years old or more. The last time I saw one with a similar trigger made out of brass it had gone out of production in 1949. Does it have any company name like Binks or Devilbiss on it? Anything that looks like a part number? If it doesn't it is probably a cheap knockoff but hard to tell. If it is that old you would probably need to re-pack it because the o-rings are probably shot. There wouldn't be any re-pack kit available so you would have to match up the o-ring sizes. The hard part to replace would be the packing or packings where the needle goes through the body under what was a knurled compression nut. That would probably be a unique part to this gun and would be hard to find. I also doubt that you would be able to find replacement needles, nozzles, and air caps for it but it is hard to say with out knowing the brand. ( I managed a Sherworks department for 9 years. This kind of spray equipment was at least 70% of what we worked on and sold.)
The fluid and air fittings should be the same as today's standard sizes, as they have been standardized since around the late 30's.

As long as there are no cracks in the body or any stripped threads of any kind it should be fine to re-build. It is probably a much better unit even as a no name brand then a lot of them on the market today.
It looks like any conventional cup or tank should work ok.

Hey Titan...
That's a conventional Spray Touch Up Gun. They usually spray out of about a 4 oz. cup, and the trigger is like what you find with an airbrush gun. They usually work on pretty low pressure and are great for touching up and blending in. Have fun with it.
