Found these items today but unsure what the brass item on the top right is. Any idea?

it's a wooden ruler or compass pivot... I'll look for a picture.

Not exact - but you get the idea...

Not the best, just lucky - I've dug one too and have it here someplace, thats why I knew right away.

You're very welcome.

some of those rulers had 2 more hinges and small brass tips on the ends. The other 2 hinges looked like small door hinges and one hinge would go on each side halfway between the center hinge or pivot of the ruler and the end
