Monday Mystery, guide


This obviously some sort of guide or jig for some task. the only marking is the word "Moore" on the close end. Any ideas?

I’ll bite, panel marking gauge?

How is the actual marking done? Is there a hidden scriber under the "saw" handle?

The one in your picture, I believe, uses a fat pencil jammed into that square hole next to the handle. More modern gages have pins, and it looks like the Lee Valley one uses a rolling blade. But the older ones I've seen all use a pencil stuck into a hole.
