What you have there is a Super Magnum CB antenna, vintage mid-60's.
The Magnum model had 4 foot radials and no top hat. The Super Magnum
has 9 foot radials with the top hat. By rewinding, or retapping the
coil, you can make a great 10 meter vertical. .... or it may be
simpler to change the length of the vertical section. I did the coil
thing in the mid-80's and used it to work all states and 130
countries.

That is a pretty impressive testimony!
