What's It? P S Stubs

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

I got this for a buck at a local flea market on Sunday.. Not sure what it is. PS Stubs appears to be an early British tool maker similar to LS Starrett or Brown and Sharpe.. Any ideas? The holes are threaded, and it appears to be plated except where worn on the end / where corrosion got the better of it (before Kroil and elbow grease recovered it)..

Thanks,
Dennis

A gauge to ID the thread of fasteners? I have one, not as big or fancy, that a machinist made many moons ago, came in a used tool lot.
