    A lady on a local page found these items in her father's basement. He was a heavy duty mechanic and did some carpentry/woodwork in his retirement years. I see no correlation with either subject. (???)

    These devices are approx. 8" wide and the stamp/logo reads "Pat. Pending - House of ??? Chicago. "

  8. I think you nailed it! Looks like it just needs to be reassembled in a little different manner.

    I was watching a WW2 documentary, they were using these to look at aerial maps.
