    The holes in paper and chalk thing is how Mike Angelo put rough figure lines on that big ceiling job. Sorry to shock anyone who thought "he could draw good".That technique is origin of the word CARTOON.

    it's only a few inches long. the scalloped end is sharp, and looks like it could be used to cut something - but what?

    copper thing-a-ma-jig

    the piece was very dirty but a green scotchpad revealed what looks like copper or brass. the "rod" with the degree indicator is hollow, like it would fit on the end of a rod of some sort. the thumbscrew piece rides in a slot, and the thumbscrew is apparently for fine adjustment; the top piece is a right angle affair.

    there are no other numbers or markings on the piece other than the degree indicator.

    it is either a spoon drill or a carving chisel, a spoon drill would be heavy when compare to a carving chisel

    I do not know the name but it could be use by a ship captain to determine their location

    It looks like most of a drill bit sharpening jig, used with a bench grinder to sharpen drill bits.
