My guess would be a business radio maybe 800Mhz area. Nothing too important...

1/4 wave length at 500 mhz is approximately 5 inches.. 1/4 wave at 800 mhz is approximately 3 inches.. If the antenna is something other than 1/4 wave, those measurements don't apply. Without something in the pictures to indicate scale reference or element length, and knowing the fractional wave length of the antenna, it's anybody's guess as to the operating frequency of that antenna.. As previously stated, an antenna analyzer will give the answer..
