Any Ideas? From A Private Yard

[Natman]

Hi all,

I found this in a private yard, the house was built in the late 50's. I have no clue what it is.

Thanks,
Nat

Looks like part of a balance scale like for measuring gun powder.

My parents friends had one of these on their mantle and stored wooden matches in it to light their fireplace.
