    It looks more like some kind of measuring device than an actual tool that does something

    A measuring device is an actual tool that does something, you know.

    It is not a sextant.

    That is an Abney Level, also referred to as an Angle Sextant. I think @Tiger Exile got this right.

    My grandfather had one of these, and I knew it as an angle sextant. Had to search the net to figure out why you said Tiger was incorrect.
