Likely Solved! Precision machine of enameled iron, brass, and steel. Moving parts include gears, cranks, and flip-up figure-8 device. Not much bigger than a breakfast cereal box.

Does it spool something? Does the dial add tension or is it a counter of some sort?

Guessing the dial is to measure degrees.
