I've been around tools and tooling most of my life and have never seen anything like this. When I bought my lathe many years ago there was a box of 'tooling' that came with it. In there wrapped in oily paper and a rag was this vernier protractor.
It has 2 levels, one for each horizontal axis, both adjustable. It has divisions on the main arced beam and then the horizontal beam has a minute curve to it so when the level head is moved it will divide the degrees into minutes. In the one picture there is a name Massi and the word for minutes in either German or Swiss? I really don't know what to use it for because of the size but it sure it neat.
