But anyway, with the curved base I suspect it had something to do with laying pipe. Most pipefitters tools have a V shaped base, for fitting any size pipe,
but maybe this one was for just a few sizes.
Just a guess

Scott,
I'm not sure that pipefitters would use it. Everything we touch toolwise gets oil on it and wood tools never let it go.
But I think you may be on the right track. Pipe rails, hand rails, stair rails, etc. I wonder what went on the end of the turned down arm. Stairs require a certain width is kept, even at the end on the landing.
SWAG, I know.
Wood handrails?
Once the angle is set could it be used to make sure a circle is kept an even distance from something? I'm thinking something ridiculous like a tetherball circle, or a circle around a flagpole?
Good luck with this, but I bet within a few days someone will get it, we'll see patent or advertisement proof, but we'll keep on guessing anyway.
