Measuring Equipment
Old Stock (New but storage spoil)
See all ads from Simon Oldfield
Details:
More items from the back of the workshop cupboard - that never actually did 'come in useful sometime!
Firstly, two pairs of parallels, 3/4 x 1/4 x 6". As far as I can tell, these have never been used (one is still in the original 'vapour paper'), the (wooden) boxes are clean (but with a few scuffs from long term storage). BUT - there is some, minor, corrosion from poor storage. They do pass the 'fingernail' test - you can't feel anything running a nail over the surface so, in my opinion, it's cosmetic only. Matching serial numbers within the pair - and sequential between. £15 per set.
Secondly, a Moore and Wright No 401 4" square - grade 'AA' (reference). This is the highest quality they made! Note that this is a 'knife-edge' square - the sides of the blade are thinned off - so best used to check squareness, rather than marking out. This is, probably, unused, but has very minor corrosion on the faces of the stock - purely cosmetic, as it's not on the working surfaces. Comes in the original (wooden) box - in excellent condition. £40
Next a 'Compac' - Swiss made - 'lever type' dial gauge (imperial), with a very high resolution of 0.0001" (1/10 thou). Used, but in very good condition and in a very nice (original) wooden box. £10
Lastly, a Moore and Wright No 899W/5 set of 'small hole gauges'. These are of the type that expand two balls into the bore and you then measure over the balls with a micrometer. Between the four, they cover the range 1.59 mm (0.0625, 1/16") to 3.20 mm (0.125 - 1/8"). Excellent condition - possibly unused - in a vinyl pouch and in the original (slightly tatty) carboard box. £20
