For auction is a real piece of Americana for the tool collector . This is a Darling, Brown & Sharpe micrometer-caliper from about 1880 . Samuel Darling was an original partner with Brown & Sharpe but operated separately until about 1868 when he moved from Maine to Providence, RI. This 6” caliper has an additional micrometer head that reads to thousandths. Everything works, no missing parts. T is a fair amount of discoloration associated with tool steel; also, some pitting on the outboard end of the scale.
