I'm pretty sure it's a Sew Steady Straight Guide. You view a demo for it here: Sew Steady Straight Guide video.

My best guess would be that it's an attachment to give the perfect 1/4" seam. Suction cups hold it down to the table and your pressure foot goes where it's indented. Fabric slides along the long acrylic pieces.

As for as the Sew Steady - it's not the same. The Sew Steady is solid, without a cut out. And, Sew Steady does have their name and the name and item number of the product on their pieces. This does not. I have a lot of Sew Steady pieces and every single one has their name etched into it and the item number and name of the piece.
I don't know what it is, but pretty sure it isn't either of these pieces. Are you sure it is sewing related?

Let me explain a little more than my previous comment. The acrylic piece goes to the throat side of the machine with the indentation facing to the left. Your sewing foot fits in there and fabric slides butted up against the acrylic piece not underneath it. It would give the perfect seam allowance each time.

Thank you Charle for posting the second, larger picture, I was able to see that one clearly. I'm glad the others were able to solve the mystery for you!
