    Not my item nor my picture.
    Very vague description sent by phone.

    Made of brass about 12 inches long but slides down to 6 inches.
    The thinner top part has numbers 1-10.

    Holes at top and bottom.

    Its not a hinge nor a window stay.

    I was going to say tuning fork, but I think that is way off.

    Not a hinge or for doors or windows.

    Foot measure sounds good but its not.

    The guy it belongs to was in the metal reclamation business for years and pulled allsorts of metal from building demolitions.
    He's knows every type of hinge and door and window casement stay.

    He can't remember where he got it but kept it because it was unusual.
