Sometimes eBay is good:

Beautiful piece. Needs a little restoration to rekindle its former glory!

Nice find. I have a bokthat has one of those as a project. Some day i will make it. Really no rush though.

Not really today, as it came in a few days ago. Ellis 6.5" with a Buck chuck, both need a little lovin'..

This actually did come in today, and I'm a wee bit too excited . All the way from Italy, no less. Looks like it's only been opened once or twice.

If you dont mind me asking as this isnt the best place for a school yard lesson but what are those indicators good for with the plunger in the back? Ive seen one before but never been used.

Here's how I use mine: dialing in the 4 jaw. A pin sized for a snug lives in a boring bar holder, which allows me to set up the indicator in about 15 seconds.

Picked up a Swiss made Brown and Sharpe 1" micrometer for 25 bucks on ebay. No scratches or initials, looks barely used, smooth as silk.

That thing is beautiful.

Thanks. I've been looking for a nice one for quite a while.

I would like to pick up a micrometer for my home i just dont have the moolah for one. Same with an anvil mic. But actual materials was more important.
