I'm thinking,  some sort of trammel point type attachment for measuring angles.   The scale is broken down into 5 degree increments.   With the pin and arch part missing a piece that would be an adjustable arm.  ONLY A GUESS.

The scale is weird tho,

How wide are the lines between the numbers?
Sort of looks like mm , but I can't tell how big the thing is...

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
