Balancer of some sort? (maybe)

[middle.road]

A friend scored this and is asking me what it might be.
No maker's mark on it.

Nice! It does look like a balancer and beautifully made as well. Inset bronze knife edges, precision thumbwheel levellers — gorgeous.

My vote is a precision grinding wheel balancer, and I agree with Frank that it is beautifully made.

I concur.

Even has a built in bubble level, very cool. Hard to get the scale of it, how tall are the arms?

Not much of a 'scale' I'm afraid.
