So, first time post from a brand new member. Found this forum due to searching for info on Victor Sewing Machine Company mics. Found a thread from 2007 but not much else.
So I'm helping a friend move some stuff out of an old barn, when, looking over a tool bench strewn with rusted drills, miscellaneous metal parts and broken tools and other debris, I see a micrometer in the rubble. I think, "I'll clean that up and see if it still works". So I put it in my pocket and take it to work the next day. I rub it down with WD-40, and find out that it still works. I see the Name on it, and google it, and find out the thing is 140 years old. I didn't continue with my efforts to clean it up. I want to know more about it before I do anything else to it. Does anyone here know anything about it?
Everything I know came from here :Victor Sewing Machine Co micrometer maker, and also the afore mentioned thread from 2007.
