Unusual, I'll have to check back to find out what ya have here, I'm sure someone will know, Welcome to CW rkelly
Cant wait to know what that is!
This is called a trammel point. They come in pairs and are used for scribing and measuring circles - similar in use to a compass but more variable.
artfoot is correct, from the image/design on it I believe this is a Stanley #2 trammel point. Made from 1870's thru 1950's.
artfoot thank you so much for the information we couldnt figure out what it was for the longest time we have 2 of them.
Something new learned!
