Thanks for contacting us! Hopefully we can help with this, but I won't lie; this part looks very old. There is very little chance we'll be able to get an exact match for this.

However, that doesn't mean we have nothing that can work. This looks like an awning operator. As far as awning operators go, its function doesn't appear to be all that different from more modern models. One that comes to mind is our 39-143. This is one of our smaller awning window operators with a 12" elbow-to-elbow "wing span," as indicated in the image below.

Dimensions for 39-143

Will this fit on your window? I can't say. It mounts to the sill in an entirely different way and it uses a different clip to mount to the sash (either 39-177 or 39-170). I don't think we'll have anything closer in our inventory, though.

Let me know what you think. If you aren't feeling optimistic about this, let me know and we'll try to find another path.
