What kind of temperature sensor is this? What would be the best method for getting a reading from it?

\$\begingroup\$ Are you sure it's a temperature sensor? can you supply a little more detail about where it came from, etc.? \$\endgroup\$– EM FieldsCommented Jun 9, 2014 at 10:00

I believe it is a Thermocouple. You can read it with a thermocouple amplifier like this. Here is a tutorial on how to read from the device.
EDIT: Upon further review of the image it could be a Thermistor in which case you would just read the voltage drop across it like any other resistor.
