Or what plane would have used this

The most common aircraft used by U.S. Aero Squadrons was the Airco DH4. I would imagine a signals unit would have used this aircraft (4846 of these aircraft were built in the US under licence from De Haviland220px-Airco_DH-4_NMUSAF.jpgHowever I can't confirm that the altimeter was used in this aircraft, but it is the most likely.

I have found a demo flight of a DH4 done in 2012 on You Tube which shows the cockpit layout about 1 min 50 secs in. The Altimeter does not seem to be a Tyco Type B, however as this is a fairly modern replica it may not have the original instrument panel. See following:
