New pool owner here. Just bought this house with a roughly 40-50 year old pool, and I'm still working on learning all there is to know to get it up and running. Previous owners were very unhelpful with info.
First off, does anyone know what skimmer this is? And if it's missing parts? And if so, where I can find those parts? I'm used to seeing circular skimmers made of plastic so this rectangular aluminum skimmer is throwing me for a loop. It seems to me like there should be a weir flap, and a skimmer basket. The part where the basket would go measures roughly 9" x 3.75" and maybe a couple inches down before it would hit the pipe.

If I can't ID the skimmer, I'm guessing I could buy a rectangular basket to roughly fit those dimensions and then maybe cut a hole to let the pipe stick through the bottom of it.
Also, not entirely sure what the deal is with these valves/piping to the left of the skimmer.
