Guy said it’s called “skip sprocket” Chain links are not the same length.
Why does the rear cog looks home made and it’s split?

Never seen it before. What else did this guy tell you about it?
Also called skip tooth. Most likely pre WWII. The chain itself is valuable.
neat!
Those have been around for a long time. Archibald Sharp (1895) around page 415 has diagrams and analysis.

They would enjoy this over on r/Vintage_bicycles
Probably a Schwinn. The “Sweetheart” chain ring is iconic. Love the old chainrings, lots of cool ones, too bad the industry doesn’t care anymore.
As other stated… skip tooth chain, most likely pre WWII, though if I remember right the Sweetheart and skip tooth did last for a couple years after the war. Not quite my vintage specialization, so not 100%.
