SOLD Antique Handmade Brass 6 Inch Machinist Calipers with Tiny Feet and Great Patina verdigris with a bit of spotting

with a bit of spotting to the wood on its back

I was immediately sold

There are a few different companies that made lovely table croquet sets in the early 20th century very similar to this one

but I don't think a reminder to encourage one to wonder about things is a bad idea either

It would be really fun to display this on a lazy susan or motorized pedestal to spin round and round forever

SOLD Antique Handmade Brass 6 Inch Machinist Calipers with Tiny Feet and Great Patina verdigris with a bit of spottingA very sweet old pair of handmade machinist's calipers, which I consider ladies legs calipers because of the tiny "feet" at the ends. Great patina to what I believe is brass, and just a satisfying object whether or not one ever puts them to use though I do find these quite handy to have around for measuring roundish things. 6 inches long. Very good I believe antique condition. Pin is not ultra tight but holds them very well in any position.
