Nice
That is a nice set however, they are only worth about $40 plus shipping. Most guys use either cheap or expensive digital calipers. I would take those over a cheap digital set any day. That is a nice find though. Too bad you don't know how to use them. They are not hard to figure out though.
good luck with your sale.

I'VE SEEN THE SAME SET MANY TIMES SELLING @ $40.00 APPX.
BENT, DIAL FRACTURED, STAINED, STUCK.
THE SET I'M SHOWING IS NOS (new old school).
I'VE ALSO SEEN BRAND NEW AT SEARS , THE STEEL IS DIFFERENT, ROUGH MOVEMENT COMPARED TO THESE..
PRECISION ENGINEERED, they move like silk, unbelievable

Your 'device' is technically called a measuring instrument, also referred to as 'dial calipers'.
There's nothing 'vernier' about them. Vernier calipers don't have a dial. Kinda like a slide-rule.
This style isn't used much today. Machinists prefer the type that reads .100" per one rev. of the needle.
Yours reads .200" per rev. meaning they're about 1/2 as accurate.
You want Kamui tips, eh?
OK, here's the best offer you've gotten so far.
I'll trade you two new tips, you pick the density.
Offer expires 12.09.12 @ midnite.
I don't really need the calipers, I've got about 10 sets now.
They just remind me of the set I used about 30 yrs. ago.
