They are push-pull plate tank coils of the 300-500 watt power class. Usually there is a swinging link that '"swings" in and out between the two coil halves to couple to the antenna circuit.

I use them in my homebrew PP triode rig with either 812H's or V70D's - my avatar shows the 80 meter coil...do they look like that?
