We found this thing in the basement of my daughter's home they just bought. Can anybody identify what it is?

Old style telephone lightning arrestors.

Can't say I've seen one before, but the aluminum cans look like Western Electric capacitors or inductors. The values and part numbers are probably stamped on the ends. With that it shouldn't take much work to trace out the wiring and tell us what you have there.
