✅ SOLVED Metal stake/cleat

[Kaosinacan]

I'm unsure what type of metal they are, but all components appear to be made of the same type. The very top spins and is threaded to move up/down a bit. The engravings are on both sides. I think it's a stake or cleat of sorts, but honestly have no idea. Can anyone identify what this is/would be used for or the engravings?

Perfect, that's the head start I needed. I found the exact pair here: https://www.toolexchange.com.au/our-tools/trammels/5908

Thank you for your help!

I use one to lay out large head gaskets, but mine are not that nice.
