Mitutoyo dial calipers no. 505 - 629 over 50 years old
MITUTOYO DIAL CALIPERS NO. 505-629
(photo shows some grease - no rust!)
Over 50 years ago, these were given to a friend as collateral for a debt. The debt was never paid, and the micrometer stayed in the drawer until now. It has some dirt, as I did not clean it, but the condition is almost perfect(if I cleaned it, it would look new). Happy to send more photo's upon request. The storage box is lined with red felt and in good shape. I also have a micrometer listed that was part of the same batch.
Given it's age, it is one of the finest examples of a dial caliper on the market. Whether you collect, or want to use it as a tool, this item is well made and has plenty of years of life. Happy to send more pictures.
