Field grader's 20-cheroot box magazine, with cutter, ca. 1925. And I figger at least four readers will tell you that you typo'ed *hoser*...
 
Snerk! Prolly...
 
A very Fritz Langish/Bauhaus prop indeed.
 
Well...something to do with marking or figuring elevation on a piece of light artillery?
 
[look] [blink] [look closer] a whatziss that I actually know? Can't be ... Is that the feed hopper off a Japanese Type 11 light machine gun? Took standard 5-round rifle ammo clips, stripped the rounds, and fed them to the gun. Ingenious idea, but didn't work so well in the field.
 
C'mon guys, this ones almost a giveaway...! Wolfwalker is wrong, but he's on the right track...
 
So...it holds bullets? For a machine gun? piece on the upper right corner is a trigger?
 
Magazine loader for a weapon using a rimmed cartridge? For a Bren, possibly?
