Looks like a force gauge. Push against the tip (sideways, either
direction) and it tells you how hard you're pushing.

It's a tension gauge, used for setting spring and belt tensions in delicate
equipment. We use similar ones for setting belt tensions on the Racal ICR64
recorders we have at work. I have seen them used for setting relay contact
pressures as well (though we have a cruder device, developed by the British
Post Office for that).

Looks like a micrometer to me.

My guess is that it is a dial micrometer. Does the dial move when you push
on the end of the rod.

If it were a micrometer it would be calibrated in millimeters, or
inches, or other units of length.
Given that it's calibrated in centinewtons [sic] it obviously has to
be a force gauge, not a position indicator.
