Hope this is in the right place!

I was given (actually cost me a bottle of wine and a 12 case of bud light) a bunch of tools that belonged to my brother's girlfriend's grandfather who passed away a couple years ago. He was a tool and die maker. There's a lot of cool machining tools like calipers, dial indicators, +30 new endmills, taps, drill bits, etc. as well as hammers, pry bars, pliers, etc.

In one box was this thing. I think I have an idea what it is but I wanted to know if I'm right. I think it's a tool for measuring the proper distance of small gear meshing. I did some googling but didn't really find anything. Thanks in advance!

looks like a clock gear measuring instrument by the illustration in the last picture.
 
Ah yes, depthing tool. I can see that. I see other styles online but nothing like this. Most seem to be a simple butterfly hinge deal with pins to hold gears. No dials or place to hold indicators.

Thanks guys
 
Haha, I love his videos and they're are what sparked my memory of what this tool could be. Thanks Hman

I love his videos too. They make it look easy enough to think I can do something productive. Lol.
 
If you are going to sell it? Please PM me. I would like to have it. I can use it, thank you, Dave.
