Never mind. They are model t tire valves I think. Still not sure about the ruler looking thing but I'm thinking part of a scale.

I don't see a tire valve there. Schrader produces many type of valves and other products. I've used the Schrader valve in a hydraulic accumulator on a Hyd. Rock Drill to fill the accumulator with the inert-gas-nitrogen. Some how that rule has those teeth and that makes me think it part of the screws in some kind of set up? I think the rule is a thread gage and should as it looks fit in the teeth on the threads of those screws for some type of correct depth measurment. Schrader may still make a deal like this combo of items. It also looks as someone used a cutting tourch to cut the ends of that rule. I don't believe this mystery is solved yet in anyway. It looks like some kind of adjusting screw set up missing a few pieces for somthing.

Schrader tire valve aka American valve. Schrader got the patent in 1893 give or take. Saw an ad from 1925 I think with the exact valve. The ad was on eBay. Can't link it cause I'm on my phone

Also the brass ruler looking thing was dug 200 yards from the valve. They don't have anything to do with each other.

Yep. I see the ad on ebay. I looked at images of Mod. T valves and saw nothing like that stem. They all looked almost like the ones you see today on bike rims. That rule looks like a thread gauge and it looks like it could count the threads on that fine thread screw ( which is a tire stem for a Mod.T) I Boofed that one. No clue what that ruler thing is. Is it cut with a tourch on both ends? and I wonder why those teeth are on one side of it. It very well could be the weight measure bar on a balance scale.

It looks broken on both sides. The only thing I can figure with the teeth would be like a doctors office weight scale but on a much more precise increment. But who knows. The 1,2,3 numbers that you can see on the top are not inches. I put a tape measure on it and they don't match. Not even close.

For sure a tire valve. Flat on the sides so it does not turn in the oblong hole in the rim. I had used them for years. Not sure on the ruler / scale thingy tho.

Got it! It's a broken piece off of a cotton scale. This was a huge cotton plantation so it makes since. I am guessing late 1800s.
