An estate sale buy from a real packrat's house. It's 6.25" across and 4" high. It does seem very well made, with faded red and green[ATTACH]...
I just picked this up at an estate sale. It measures 3.5" x 2.75". Inside is a latin inscription: AMICIS, QUALIBET HORA, which translates to...
Thickness gauge! Got it. Many thanks.
I know this tool measures the depth of an object, but I don't know its name. I can't list it and call it "measurer". It's made by Frank R. Buck &...

Bought in a bag of mostly junk jewelry. Made of brass or brass colored, 1 inch from wing tip to wing tip. It says MRW and has the date 1940 across...
