the thing is probably not a transformer, it probably a current limiting
device - I've made such a thing with a low wattage bulb off the high side
of 110 - a 1 watt bulb will limit current to 10 ma but will give a pesky
shock - the commercial units limit current perhaps in other ways to be
super safe. your choice how to proceed -

when you "took it apart" - what did you find inside?

Two wires to a device that looked like a 2" x 3" metal rectangle with a hole
in the middle. In the hole are two 1.25" diameter coils that look like they
are wound of rough brown paper, then a clear sealant. Between the coils are
two little boxes the size of your fingernail, but are sealed in with clear
goop. Two wires in, two wires out.
