it says spark plug gage,  the poity end might be to adjust the electrode wire.

the compartment could hold spare plug brass top nuts & new spark plug gaskets,
tes, they used to use copper gaskets to go between the plug & the head.

wrench to remove plugs, and possibly used to take them apart to clean.

just a guess, Frank

It's been identified as a wrench that came with outboard boat motors made by Scott-Atwater. The pivoting cover is a spark plug gap gauge, and the compartment held shear pins for the prop
