Only took a year and a half. Junior Marshall badge. Cleaned up real well. Here is a picture of some stuff I got today. The item to the left of the badge in the second picture is a pencil sharpener.

Nice finds .. congrats! Any idea what the knob in the top left corner is with the fractions on it? I found a very similar item the other day.

Lenmac65. I would think it was part fill indicator on a gas tank or some other kind of tank. It's possible there was a red indicator arrow on top, attached to a float below. As liquid was added to the tank the float would ride and the indicator arrow would advance towards full.
