besides being a mystery auction item?
Looks vaguely flukeish.

Way too many buttons. It looks like a TI calculator from some university's undergraduate lab where they had to bolt it to the bench to keep if from being stolen.

My first vote is a label maker, something like a Brother P-Touch. The "typewriter" shape is more popular but they do make some in the handheld/fat-remote-control shape. Big keypad, LCD on top, printed label tape emerges from the black panel on the left.
My second vote is along the lines of what Phil Hobbs said. It's a (TI?) scientific calculator stuck into some kind of shroud or backpack that provides additional functions: a printer, bigger batteries, interface to some kind of test or analytical equipment, something like that.
What do we win if we guess right? :)

I believe that is a Brady ID Pro label maker, though I can't find an exact image of it on the web. Maybe it's a different product line name? The one s I see online use roll-feed blank label stock.
The one in your photo is circa-1998 and had continuous roll stock that was in the shape of a rectangular cartridge that you would attach to the rear o f the unit. The printed label would exit to the rear side of the unit and had an integrated manual cutter. Several label stocks were available, incl uding tamper proof labels, industrial sleeves for wire harnesses, high temp erature & weatherproof outdoor labels, etc... Very nice machine. The comp any I used to work for had one of these in the shop.
If it's not Brady, it's one of the other big industrial label maker manufac turers - maybe Zebra.? But I pretty sure it's Brady.
Update: Try KROY. Possibly the model K5100.

Given the context of available tools and technology, the engineering on these makes the LBT look like a tinkertoy set.

Without more and better pictures, it could be a network cable verifier.

It has a full keyboard. Likely a barcode or RFID inventory scanning recorder/logger.
