Picked this up at an estate sale along with a few other doughboy items. Imperial War Museum site says it was used with a Vickers AA.

Any idea how rare? I have not seen these before and can find no other pics anywhere on the interwebs.

Never seen a British one but have seen several "musket range finders". I have an artillery one for the US 3 inch field gun (1902/05) that is called "Battery Commanders Ruler" FA 1914. There are several scales in mills, and a scale "HDS. OF YDS". Also has the string which I assume you hold at your nose and hole the ruler at arms length and read the yardage.
