Greetings, All,
My father-in-law left me all his tools when he passed and I am just beginning to go through them.
Amongst his treasures was a 7" convertible vernier caliper. It can be either a standard vernier caliper OR a vernier height gage.
And it was made by MAUSER the German company. Best guess is sometime between the War of German Agression, Phase I and Phase II.
Its measures just in English, no metrics at all. It has a chart of decimal equivalents on the back (1/64 to 63/64ths). It has the MAUSER trademark at the top of the beam, on the height gage base, and on the back of the off-set scriber.
This is my first attempt at posting a picture (MAUSER) so if its not working, or too large, your patience would be appreciated and your skilled guidance on the proper way will be observed, and copied!
When you get to Photobucket, please click on the picture to enlarge. I also merged in some closeups of certain details pointed out by the Red arrows.
The back reads...
Made in Germany for
"George Scherr Co.
New York"
The quote marks are on the original.
Should I insure this item against theft? If so, any idea how much?
Thank you and My Regards,
Stan Db
