Am dial from a old radio ?

 

[AU Seeker]

I would say it from a scale that only weighted up to 100 pounds.

The gear like portion keeps me wondering

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

I'm inclined to think radio dial as it has to many increments for a t-stat a t-stat would be in like 5 degree increments.IMO

The teeth don't go full circumference so it was likely from some type of tuning or adjustment dial. Volume dial?
