Who can identify this instrument?

it's a clock!

Precisely - measures the angle of entry into a  potal on the freeway, and also the dimensions of the

Hard deal to measure!!

Youz guys answers are way more inventive than the ones on FB were...lol.

2. Popeil apple peeler/corer/slicer.
3. Galileo's navigational sextant, but only for flat earthers.
4. Elevation/windage calculator for a Barrett M82.

It looks like it's made to be mounted under something else, per the bolt holes with threads on top, it's aircraft looking in design with all the cutouts in the frame, coated with industrial/ military paint, the rest of the parts appear to be aluminum....but what is it? Does the user look through the left/upper cylinder and mirrors refract the view through the lower one? Hard to tell...I'm just hoping somebody recognizes it. It was found in an old womans house in the closet...so may be from a bygone era...

It's a bosom angle estimator for custom brasserie makers. Dial in circumference, cup size, and perkiness. The lower the overall final vector, the more material needed.
Simple.

Good minds think alike.

Also what it does, or is used for...To be clear, I don't know what it is either...lol.

Don't know what the hell it is
but looks like it needs to be stood up rotated 90*s
so you could read the scales/angles/pitch (?) on it easily

oversized paper weight....... what do I win this time?

I thought of that too but it isn't modern looking enough and I've seen those.

The two cylinders say it is for measuring volume or pressure and the many adjustable scales say it is a testing device or calibration device. That's as far as I have gotten.

I missed your post earlier. How about it's a device for rigging of a mechanical flight control system? In particular, measuring control column forces and displacements (throws)?

I work in aerospace and so many things look like something for an aircraft. Kind of a corollary to this age old statement:
""If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will start treating all your problems like a nail.”
