I don't have a clue. The one end looks like you would hold it with your thumb and fore finger.

It is made by Starrett.
It seems to count revolutions, What it would be used for I don't know.
I found it in a drawer when I bought my house

does the left end of it turn?  i have not idea what it would be, but you said it counts revolutions, so i wondered if it would be some sort of tachometer?  maybe for something really slow??

that is a #104 high speed indicator
for counting shaft revolutions
every 100 revolutions the knob under your thumb will throb

at least that's what the 1948 catalog says.

found it here:
