Here’s a little decorative Stanley pocket level patented in 1896. It looks like a solid brass body but it’s just sheet metal, brass or brass plated. A patent search for that Tuesday turns up a Stanley patent for production machinery (US Patent: 562,679) - doesn’t seem to relate to this little unit..

That's a Stanley No. 41; the tits and the screw allow you to clamp it to a straightedge or to a square to use as a level or an inclinometer. I suppose in a pinch you could clamp it on a string and use it as a line level but it wasn't intended for that.

Here it is in a catalog:
