It is a single row of pins held tightly by a bar but still allowed to
move, like a single row pin-box.
One uses it to take a pattern of molding by pushing the pins against
the molding, allowing them to adjust to its profile, to get a pattern.
I don't know what to ask for, let alone where to get it.
Thanks

Well nobody's come up with the "Contour Copy Gauge" yet, so I'll jump

It's a profile gauge:
