Odd Measuring device

Found this Lufkin measuring device down at the Habitat Restore.  Paid a$2.50 for it and bought it for the sole reason of it being something odd I have never seen before.  I don't have a clue of what it was used for and didn't think I would have any use for it either.  I did however use it just last week.  I needed to cut some eight inch long blanks from some 4X4s so I set it for eight inches and was able to mark out the blanks in between the knot holes.  Worked out great.  It was rusty but cleaned up okay.   

Written on the rule is

Lufkin

NO.4 Grad.

Tempered

    Really cool find...Not important...you saved it extinction. 

    Maybe @John Moody can help with more detail. He seems to have a knack for finding unique measuring tools.
