This is probably the strangest thing I’ve seen in a while… a primitive 19th c. tachometer. Arader Galleries - A Mahogany and Brass Waywiser, the dial signed Troughton, London
edit: I should have said “odometer” (measures distance) instead of “tachometer” (measures revolutions-per-minute). My bad. 
Also, found another example of the device with more information on it’s purpose and use, this one by Robert Bate of London.

Note: Strohmenger & Sons, a London based company, began piano production in 1935.”
