I don't know what the part is but "LA CHAUX-DEFONDS SUISSE" is a small
town in Switzerland that is in the heart of the clock making country. It is
a French speaking town. They still have manufacturing there and at least
one major store for buying machine tools.

I got it from a retired toolmaker in Sydney, Australia who inherited
it and we'd be interested in any ideas what it might have been from.

Thanks for looking,
