What is this strange vernier thing?

[liqudus]

I found this thing in a machinists bin from an auction I won and have no clue what it is or how it works. It has no manufacturer or model number. Anyone have any clue what it does?

Looks like a inside mic to measure a bore.

I think it's a micrometer to set the cutter on a boring bar

First of all it is not a vernier thing, just a micrometer thing, and yes it is for a Kwik Way cylinder boring bar.

Over a thousand bucks for that thing?

I think that would be called a "wishing price". I see a lot of that on e bay in late years, a ridiculous asking price with a "make offer" notation, although this item does not offer that feature, at least yet.
