A resistance of 2 Ohms between terminals 1 - 2 and 3 - 4 is about right for a dual winding transformer. It's too high to be a low voltage filament winding. A resistance of 127 ohms between 5 and 7 is again about right for a high voltage "plate" transformer.
Is the transformer heavy (over 4 lbs)? If so, it is likely to be designed for 60 Hz applications. If not, it's probably a military 400 Hz transformer, although I haven't seen many potted 400 Hz transformers (they are more usually open frame with a icky epoxy material covering them).
Given that it blew the fuse when less than 117 volts was applied to terminals 1 and 2, it's likely to either have a shorted winding or to be a 400 Hz unit.
