This is a micrometer, also known as a "mike". Behind that is a level.
I used a mike when I worked at my Dad's tool and tie shop. I have no idea if they're still used today; I assume everything's digital now. Mikes are (were) used to measure the exact widths of things. The mike and level shown above were my Dad's; my mom gave them to me after he died.
Dad died eleven years ago today. You can read a little about him here.
I love you, Dad.

It's nice that you still have these things that belonged to your dad.
It's like having an informal and familiar memorial with you showing you that he's with you all the time.
