5 and a quarter by about 2 and a quarter inches. Made from cast iron. Seems to have graduated/alignment marks on the left side. It came in a box of old tools that dated early 1900s.

It's a raker gage:

Although it might be a saw jointer, I'm finding images of your item when I search either raker gauge or saw jointer. They are very similar tools, at this point I'm leaning towards saw jointer.
