This is a vintage precision micrometer manufactured by the L.S. Starrett Company of Athol, Massachusetts. Renowned for their high-quality machinist tools, this piece features a classic black-finished frame with a polished steel spindle and sleeve. It comes complete with its original red textured cardboard box featuring the repeating Starrett logo pattern, as well as the original paper instruction pamphlet. This vintage tool is in good cosmetic and functional condition, showing typical signs of age and light use, such as minor surface wear on the metal and some scuffing/wear on the cardboard box edges. It represents a fantastic addition to any collection of antique tools, machining memorabilia, or for practical use by a hobbyist who appreciates classic American craftsmanship.
