Thats sweet john, Im learning something new every day, I had absoultly no idea about Kennedy boxes. For years I have in the shop they are three
stacked up, never gave it a though or I always thought it was just another **** box, I can see a wooden 1920s felt lined machinst box but 2to 300dollar
Kenedys I just may sell mine and get a 50 dollar HF one and buy more tooling good score

It's a pin mic. It can be setup for checking a particular range of size pins for under/over.

Because of the controversy,I'm not going to say YOU SUCK!!! The fact is,we both suck!! I got a similar chest,even more full of tools way back when I was starting out on my first lathe. It was $100.00 too. That'd be a lot more by now,but it was and still is worth it.
The Kennedy chest was so heavy,I had to take it on a bus rather than try to lug it 3 blocks at the time. It was a great boost to my limited tooling back then. I'm sure you feel much the same way,though I don't know how many tools you already had.

That is a device to measure the consistency of the necks of shell casings. I bought one in gun shop years ago assuming it was a one-off some machinist had made. It had no instructions with it nor markings on it.
I never liked it much, preferring to use a ball mike for the purpose. A few months ago I disassembled it to cannibalize the thing.
Does yours have any markings or indication of the maker? Obviously it had no instructions, or you would have known what it is.
