In many ways I share your passion for Starrett tools as their plant in Athol MA is less than 35 miles from me. I've taken friends/visitors there for tours. Have you ever been?
Thank you, Ken - I have never been to the factory.
Quote:.......... I'll have to get a photo of one tool I have which is marked Starrett, but no other numbers. It's a versatile inside-outside-hermaphrodite caliper that I've never found in any catalogs, though I don't have any book older than a No.28. Perhaps you could identify it.
I saw the photo when I was reading through the old posts, Ken. It is the No. 44 Double Caliper (not hermaphrodite caliper) which I found listed in the No.13 (1895) catalog and each succeeding catalog up to No. 26 (1936) - evidently it was discontinued after WWII - it was not stamped with a catalog number - many older calipers, weren't. Here is a scan from Catalog No. 24 (1927):
