I think it is a gauge for an old seed drill. Depending on where the trip lever was set, determined the size of the drill opening....similar in function to the one shown here.

Here is the link to the drill if you are interested in seeing that: https://www.stationroadsteam.com/planet-junior-no.3-seed-drill-stock-code-2868/#

I was kinda thinking that it had to do with planting depth. But not something i've seen, so I wasn't jumping to conclusions.
