Seriously? I never would have guessed that in a million years.

Being a chef/cook(30+yrs.) i see what your saying but there is no injector/vacume,etc.type of function on this&seems like no peices missing or how it could attach to something,Thank's for input!

Looks somewhat like a modern (aluminum) version of one of my Grandpa's antique drafting tools, like the following photo of one that was made by the 'Deitzgen' company

The end of the central portion appears to me that it is scalloped, or in something of a scoop shape - is this the case? Could you perhaps post a photo detailing that end?

The issue with it being a compass would be the fact that the legs aren't the same length, making it very difficult to create a perfect circle.

That being said.....
