Mitutoyo Dial Caliper with Case
$95.00
Description
**Mitutoyo Dial Caliper with Case**
This is a precision measuring instrument - a dial caliper manufactured by Mitutoyo, a renowned Japanese precision tool company. The caliper features a stainless steel construction with a large, easy-to-read analog dial gauge marked in .001" increments. The dial face shows graduations from 0-100, and "Made in Japan" is clearly visible on the scale beam along with "Stainless Hardened" markings.
The caliper appears to be approximately 6 inches in length and comes housed in a fitted brown leatherette presentation case with red velvet lining. The case shows moderate wear and some staining on the exterior surface, while the caliper itself appears to be in good working condition with normal signs of use but no significant damage or corrosion. The dial face is clean and readable, and all adjustment mechanisms appear intact.
Based on the styling and case design, this appears to be from the 1970s-1990s era. Mitutoyo is considered a premium brand in precision measurement tools, widely used in machining, engineering, and quality control applications. The model appears to be from their standard dial caliper line, likely a 6-inch capacity model.
**Estimated Value:** $75-125 USD. This estimate is based on the strong reputation of the Mitutoyo brand, the good working condition of the instrument, and typical resale values for vintage precision measuring tools. The inclusion of the original case adds value, though the case's worn condition slightly reduces the overall price point from what a mint example might command.
