Just spitballing her but could it be a type of sextant? Possibly for night time navigation (glass ball acting like a prisim picking up low light from stars broadcasting it towards directional coordinants?) I do think it is sensitive to movement only because of the two attachment base mounts could be cushioning between the two plates absorb shock / movement and not disturb calibration. But again simply a guess. If there were a makers mark or manufacturer stamp on it anywhere I d bet you can find out for sure.
