Your guess as good as mine
I've had this in my collection and never threw it out or even questioned it til today. So here it is below A weird two tooth cog which I assume use to be a complete cog. Got it from someone that use to own a bike shop but they are not here to explain the story. Was the man insane is also a valid suggestion. What could it have possibly been used for.

Kind of looks like the ring that attaches near the front hub with an old analog mileage counter.

Gap tool to set the max/min height of the FD over the chainring!

I am by no means new to bicycles but the guy I got this from OWNED A BIKE SHOP. Either he was a genius or was drunk using a dremel for the first time. I'm a big fan of the latter

ha! I have one of these too!
I can tell you what mine is for (as I made it) but that's not to say your previously insane owner was doing the same thing...
Mine is used as a lockring on an old Shimano Uniglide hub that has been converted to SS use. for purely aesthetic reasons I didn't like having a 'second' sprocket on the freehub, so ground the other teeth off, had to leave two to allow removal using chainwhip.
