Mystery tool images

A science mentor teacher friend of mine found this tool at a garage sale. She teaches her 5th graders a unit on levers and pulleys and thought this tool would be a good addition to her examples. However, she cannot figure out what it is or does. Can you?

The actual tool measures 8.5 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.

If you know what it is, please email me at: dhunt@exploratorium.edu

These are almost fullsize images and may take some time to download.
