I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

speed camera flash counter. 
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Not anything to do with stereo . But it can be sound related.
Perhaps youre all to young in this forum

I'm hoping its a selector for the 'number of swedish women to visit your hotel bedroom'
But it's probably a selector for the window wipers or something stupid :-(

I'd go for the wiper speed control as well, probably a rheostat.

And we have a winner
PaulBuz was correct.
It is a combination lock for the ignition.
You turn to the correct number first to the right and then to the left. After that you can start the car.
If you don´t have the correct numbers and still try. A signal will go to the horn if you try to start the car. A simple alarm 
We´re not sure when it´s produced, but it looks like early 60´s.
