Look what one of my "Lads" has just sent me!
It must be over 50 years, since I last saw one. When I first started work.

Lovely condition, except for some spark erosion, on one corner........

Wonder where it's been all these years......

It doesn't have a dial. So, I guess it's a ti! Can't find anything on Google.
Anyone else ever come across one?

David,
I have seen a Verdict Junior before but haven't owned one.
I do have something in the same vein:

It's a lovely little caliper with a built in +/- 0.004" indicator. It's 110mm long.

Yeah, I made one of those during my first year as an apprentice. It did not survive my (1973) house fire, by I remember the hours spent scraping in the (2) 1:10 lever multipliers and the fixturing to solder the (Sų.0625) bearing ball on the (unadjustable) contact tip...

David, i still have a verdict Ti in my toolbox in its cardboard box probably not been used for 30+ yrs now.
Phill I have never seen a caliper like that before, always nice to see somthing new.

Somebody made me something along similar lines when I first started model engineering and joined a club. His wasn't calibrated in any way but he called it a wobbler. For centring things in the 4 jaw etc.

I'm pleased, I stirred a few memories for you all.
Tried to look up the patent....... That No. was issued in 1946.
That's nice Phil! Never seen a comparator caliper before.
