Brown & Sharpe 620 Surface Gauge
it's gotta be the cutest little useful thing in my shop. it well served it's last owner, i'm going to put a dial test indicator on it and use it for another 80 years!!!
the base was freckled with case hardening gone bad.
i was able to save it by biax scraping the surface back to flat and now it has excellent contact.
