The pointer doesn't go above horizontal, but can hang below.

It looks like some kind of gauge.

Part of an old scale?

So S&C, is it a pecker-gauge or a twat-o-meter? I'm confused.

woberto Report This Comment Date: March 24, 2011 02:08AM
I'm sure I've held one of these in my hands before but I just can't think what
it is!
Please tell us the answer.

My best guess is that it measures the amount of rotation or flex in something -
I imagine that something is attached to the small round metal sleeve at one end
and, if it is held in its current plane, sticks up vertically.

Perhaps part of a scale?

I don't think this anon ever knew what this was and was expecting us to tell
him. Guess we overwhelmed him with our brilliant ideas.

There should be no way for anons to post on this site.
I'd like it so that people had to sign up before being
able to post in threads/forums.
