Guess: Honestly I don't know BUT I'll make a descriptive guess based on what I see. The hatchet-esque blade in the top of the ruler looks like it had a handle on it at some point so I think it was a tool to measure the width of something to be cut and then actually cut it. Maybe leather? Maybe to cut the circumference of something?
Wacky Guess: It's a pumpkin measuring device for farmers. Put the hook at the top of the pumpkin and measure. Using the hammer for a little thump on the side that ensures the pumpkin is of sound quality.
Speculation: This could also just be some old tools photoshopped together, the hammer looks like it's resting on the two points of the ruler.

Ok ill take a serious shot at it it is a leather working tool not only for working the leather but also making leather the rounded hammer is for keeping the leather thickness right the black portion is a awl on one side but if you look there is a pin holding it to the base it swings out the other end is actually a blade they used that for scraping hides to be made into leather... 8 } A leather working tool.

Venier caliper its a device used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object. A caliper can be as simple as a
compass with inward or outward-facing points. The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit across the points to be measured, the caliper is then removed and the distance read by measuring between the tips with a measuring tool, such as a rule

Its and antique which you memtioned in your post
I think its like a digging machine for gold miner...
but actually “It is a brass button polishing board. You put the size button through the hole and slide it over to the end. You then polish your buttons and not get the cleaner all over the material.”
She’s involved with Civil War re-enactments, and those soldiers’ buttons need lots of polishing, so she’s seen our Item No. 1081 in use!""" This is the topic i found from internet But its quite interesting post's

Competition is officially closed and although no-one actually put a name on it, @dugyfresh got close enough in his descriptive guess and for all the effort in his other replies, he is the winner.
My first picture is an older form of a tool that is still used today and it is called a plough gauge, made for cutting leather straps and used mostly by harness-makers. Below is a picture of the same tool, available today. The wooden handle is missing from the tool I have.
I am awarding
@dugyfresh 5 SBD
@nightwind 1 SBD
@stevespring 1 SBD
@anupupadhaya 1 SBD
@muhammadumer 1 SBD
@iwanderela 1SBD
Congratulations and check your wallets for the transfers
