Need ID on this small 3 part gizmo

Found this little 3 Piece folding gizmo at a house site. Each one of the arms are a little different in shape
Quarter for size.
Any Ideas on what it is?
 
Any writing or numbers on it?

My guess would be some sort of gauge or tool for automotive, mechanical, machinery or gun repair.
 
I would suggest trying to clean this up a little better and look closely for any names, words, or numbers stamped into it. Since all three sections have a slightly different shape it looks to me like some type of radius gauge.
 
If there were just one instead of three, it'd be a dead ringer for a firearm sear or a ratchet pawl for some other mechanical device.
 
Just a guess,but it looks like a nest of choke wrenches,for the old Win choke
shotgun choke tubes. Different gauges used a different size wrench. :shrug:
 
Could be feeler gauges for gapping and indexing spark plugs and points for the old cars. Check for any stamps indicating size or thickness.
 
It looks like a Locking device for a folding knife, at least 3 blades or tools. Each knife differs in design quite a lot but here is a few modern styles.
