I picked this up today at a yard sale. I see them from time to time. These were shop made and I know that they were very risqué in their day. Does anyone know the history on these? They seem to be pretty common.
So far I have found that they were called "Naughty Nellies" and that SnapOn used them for promotional items. Mine sure weren't made by SnapOn
I found a more elaborate one that sold for over $350. Most are $20- 100.
As a functioning caliper they wouldn't be my first choice. There seem to be about 5 basic designs. I am still wondering why @100 years ago, so many people went to the effort to make sub par calipers?
