Marked M.S. & S Phila. Shaft has a fine thread on the end. One has a straight slot for adjusting, the other two are curved. Any idea what this is for.
kinda reminds me of the bottom of a theodolite, or something that needs to be really level.
Could this be a centering holder for a very light use lathe? Until it was turned over, the first pic looked like a piece out of a fishing reel I disassembled one time. Those little jaws are intriguing, I can see where a less than perfectly round I could be held by them, then put in a lathe. Do you have any more parts to this puzzle?
Hi. Maybe used for leveling something, I don't know. Here are pics of another piece that was in the same box. Sort of the same principal. They spin in in out. That's it for parts.
I am reminded of a few things:
1. Watchmakers or clockmaker tools
2. Alignment tools.
3. The first one reminded me of some cream seperator parts.
I can't understand what the angled holes innthe first one do.

Bingo. You the man, Chilly. John K. You were on the right track. In the second box in the link. I guess its called a pivot plate for a watchmakers lathe. Now about the second piece?

Thanks guys.
Along the same track, could they be for removing backs, covers, or bezels?
