it could be a slip gauge holder for holding a stack of gauges hard to see from that angle and not knowing the size

It may have become estranged from a set like this which greatly extends the usefulness of a set of slip gauges

+1 for a Slip Gauge Holder, that has escaped from the box and accessories.
