It's a two sided ruler with Imperial on one side and metric on the other.

It`s not the bar from a metronome is it? Move the wieght up and down to shorten/lengthen the time.


Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra m�d,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra m�r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

An adjustable nose-picker?

A "Whoopee" cushion add on?

The patch for "Whirlwind Over Vietnam"?

A ship's compass needle?

An impaling dart to be used against small zombies?

Agree. This would be my guess as well. It appears to be part of a weather vane.
