Maybe a face plate to a timer?

Steam gauge?

If we could see the numbers, it might be easier to ID.

DC Matt is usually correct...

They are there but difficult to see...i'll try to highlight them...

I figured that it would give us a better idea of what was being measured, if indeed it is a dial face.

It looks t me like it starts at 1/2 and goes all the way around to about 80? (with the high end being hard to read)
But it really looks like there's a one half mark... Why start there?

Looks like a electric or water meter dial?

I think it is 1 - 2. It has numbers inside the circle and outside the circle. 1 inside. 2 outside. 5 inside. 8 outside. 10 inside...

I can only see numbers up to 40.

Maybe it's an egg counter. Who remembers THAT whatsit? OMG!!! NOOOOO!!!!

Deleting comment as I looked at it wrong.

No really, if you enlarge the heck out it there's a 1/2 on the left side of the line left of the 2... I really think so anyway.
What about the counter-clockwise numbering on this... I'm having a hard time finding any gauge that has that.
Indeed, the egg counter is one I'm sure won't slip out of memory, like so much else does that I actually try to remember.

I see the 1/2 now. Excellent observation. I also had not considered the 'counter-clockwise' aspect.

Kitchen scale?

the counter clockwise numbering is done for reading vacuum

My first thought was part of a secret decoder badge.

When I find small brass items like that, I throw them in the tumbler with a batch on pennies to clean them up.
