inside take a mirror and take a hole to see in the distance. I think it is a sextant or similar.

When I was checking I thought they things for boats. If it's a mirror, wonder if it's for S.O.S. because they had to do with life boats.

OK Bigwull, I dug out the book... :o



...and it tells me that the instrument is a: "Surveyor's Optical Square, used for laying out a rectangular area, such as a tennis or croquet court."
