What did this speedometer come out of?

Wild theory, I might be wrong, but it doesn't seem to look like any old speedometer I've seen. I've never seen an antique face I with three lopsided mounting holes, it's usually two; one on either side of the needle. Also with the wreath edge and unique shape, it doesn't seem like it was in a stand alone gauge.
My wild guess, it was a face plate to something with a control knob. The large beveled inner circle probably had a knob covering the open space and the three screws.
But it's my wild guess of the mental photo album of stuff in my head haha

It looks like the face of a old household thermostat.

It also reminds me of the old electric meters and gas meter faces that were in metal housings with a glass window in a semi circle or crescent shape...

I'll guess a face to an old outdoor thermometer.

Reminds KT of the angle gauge face plate on a table saw....allows you to adjust the blade angle...but fancier!

It's a frequency dial to a 1920s radio. In those days the frequencies were not in 54-1600 Kc, but 10-100 Meters. If you go to this site and register, those guys are EXPERTS and will tell you exactly what you have and probably put up a picture of the exact radio.
