It looks like a Stanley #40 Line Level

I believe it fastens to a framing square, like the no.40 in illustration.

Correct image, wrong name
Straight edge pocket level, for Attaching to framing squares or straight edges.
Line Levels usually attach to a string w two hooks

You are right. I used line level when I was doing my google search, and it got locked in my mind.

It does look like the #40 level, how old would it be?
Hard way is to look through all these catalogs, and note the filigree changes, etc

Slightly easier, someone already did that, but I can’t find it right now. Seems like there were 4 easily identified traits, but my google skills were used up at work today, so I can’t find squat right now.

After looking at some of the photos online, I noticed that the part that has the designs is a thin plate held on by the screws. Yours is missing that plate, which might have the additional information needed to date it.
