It looks exactly the same as this side.

Ok. I thought maybe a mounting bracket for a shower curtain pole. . or cloths hanger but if it's flat then probably not.

Did it come off of some kind of cook ware?

Close. Pressure canner. It uses the weight system rather than gauges.

I’m curious, What do the numbers mean and how does it work?

Rather than having a gauge, it uses weights. You put that on the steam exhaust, and it jiggles once every few seconds. Different weights are for different materials, and heights above sea level.
