I'm pretty sure you're showing us the balling scale. Rotate the hydrometer so that we can see the SG scale. It will look something like the picture I've included and should range in values from ~0.990 to ~1.170

~ 1.017, give or take a couple points.

What is the temperature of your sample?

Temperature can change the reading depending on how far it is from 60º F.
