My first idea - what a cool Victorian 'gadget' - when all the arms are outstretched at right angles, does it form a perfect square and if so, would that be a measure of something related to sewing (a 'patch' ?) or knitting (a tension swatch? did they test in this way?) or it fell in with the sewing tools and is for something else entirely :p Maybe it is a hanky stretcher ~
