Being cast iron it was probably a machinists level but could have been used in any trade. Stanley made them back in the 1880's but I don't recall the cut outs being being this fancy. I would sooner think Starrett out of Athol, Mass might be worth a look. I think Stanley has online archives but not sure about Starrett. Stanley called them pocket levels while others called them a torpedo level or pocket level depending on the shape as you look at it from the top.
