Hi all,
I have a boxed set of twelve Lufkin micrometers and I have no idea much they are worth. Also some way to possibly date them would be helpful. I did some digging on the internet this weekend and came up empty handed for what a kit like this is worth; mainly because the great oracle "google" came up empty without even a single picture of what I have. I figured that I had better ask the experts on this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The set is complete with the majority of the mic's in great condition, most have 90+ percent original paint, and no chipping or visible wear to the anvils. The anvils according to the Lufkin catalog are hardened tool steel not carbon, none of them appear to have been dropped nor visibly damaged, and the the ratchet/locking mechanisms all function properly. The 1-2 and 2-3 mic's have the most surface wear and tear which is to be expected; I've been told due to their more frequent use cases. Also of note this kit does not have the standards included, as it was an option per the Lufkin catalog #7 I found online (1906-1978)???, but has the original never installed chrome side handles in original packaging at the bottom of the wooden crate.
Since it is my first time on this forum please let me know if I should relocate this post to another more proper area besides where its posted. I'll also be very happy to take and post any further pictures of the mic's.
