Working on some shop clean-up projects and in the process uncovered a Starrett No. 122 caliper I picked up several years ago on eBay. Case is a little on the rough side but the caliper is in good shape and when comparing its readings to a good Fowler caliper I have, it agrees to within 0.0005" every time. Good practice re-learning how to read vernier scales. But had to get out the 10x loupe to do it right.
Did a very cursory Google search and didn't turn up much on the history of this model. Looking to find out years of manufacture. Probably need to pop into VintageMachinery.org or someplace like that to get some help.
Not exactly the sort of thing I'm going to use for woodworking but a nice bit of kit to have around none the less. Now if I can just find my vintage Brown & Sharpe 0-1" micrometer. I swear I saw that just a week ago.
