What is it and maybe which vacuum it was used with? There is no names or model numbers on the hose.

That appears to be an adapter that goes on the sole plate of either a Hoover Convertible upright or a Eureka upright in order to convert it into a straight suction cleaner.  I'm guessing it is for a Eureka.

I was a bit confused because it seems to be missing a piece on the bottom and it has wheel on top? Hm

Eurekastar is correct: That is the standard plastic hose and pan converter provided by Eureka for all their classic, fan first, F&G bag, Dial-a-Nap or Rugulator uprights. If I remember correctly, the upright attachment set was Model 60D.

Of course, it may also have been sold with any of the Eureka-made store label clones: Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, Eaton Viking, Baycrest and Beaumark.

Though the set up did capture all the suction generated by the fans in these Eurekas, the major flaw was the foam "weatherstripping" used in the pan converter - after a few years of use, the foam perimeter strip would begin to come loose or disintegrate. Standard foam weatherstripping was always a good replacement!
