What part is this thing missing?
I ask the forum's help in restoring this tool to its former greatness.
I have more than a few T-bevels with this style of fastener.

But this earlier example is missing a nut of some kind (appears to be 1/4-20) and I'm wondering exactly what it should look like and if it's brass.

Well you didn't ask but . . .
Joe,

no lathe or drill press here)
"SHOCKING" (to quote Bond)
Joe . . . that's barbaric . . . how to you get along ?
Since I have nothing constructive to add and too much couch time under my belt I might suggest/mention/recommend:
Drill press : watch the local ads; my first drill press was a bench top model (maybe a Grizzly; label was missing) I got it for $75. You can just see it there on the left side of the photo of my shop assistant (Q). I have had it for twenty five years (the drill press not Q), I used it hard to the max and still works like the day I got it. I finally bought a big floor model once I lost access to the ones (drill or mill) at various places I have worked.
Lathe : if you get the drill press it would help you make a Roy Underhill spring pole lathe out of wood. A nice woodworking project.
