Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. But in all seriousness, can someone tell me what this tool is? In a way it reminds me of a old lathe indicator, but the only thing that turns is the pointed tip, but it doesn't move in or out, just moves the dial. No markings that I can see on it

Its a RPM indicator

a guess would be a machinist or clockmakers gauge

I'd say you're right. Did a little more digging. It's probably from around late 1800's. I appreciate the help!

Get its value estimated by a professional. (?)
Its a sexton, like a GPS for boats

Its worth less than $20. Old does not equal valuable.
Figure out something cool to turn it into.
You and that lad that strapped his fleshlight onto a desk fan could probably collaborate on this one
