Any idea who might have made it, it's country of origin, or value?  I like it as a display piece at under a couple Hundred dollars but would have no problem moving it if it can fetch a lot more.

I misspoke about the size. Hopefully the pictures clear up that. The piece on the back of the clinometer is designed to swing when the screw on the top is released and hold when tightened for calibration.

Wall mount. The v is slightly larger closest to the plate and further away from the clinometer so it actually acts like a groove.  It is about a foot in diameter.  The four screw holes on the plate would bolt the plate so the clinometer slides down into the v and is held in place by gravity.  I'm guessing it was mounted and could be quickly hung and unhung while maintaining the same orientation each time it is hung.

I can't find any identifying markings on it.
