"The longest-lived micrometer than can be bought." J.T. Slocomb micrometers and stand, all fully restored by myself. Each mic is between 70-120 years old, and they're all still accurate.alittlebitaspie t1_j93gdlc wrote
Hopefully those will pass calibration and inspection. they look to be in flawless condition, so hopefully they will and will be more than a pretty display.

I'm just a home-shop hobbyist, so they pass muster as far as I'm concerned. And they definitely see use!

It wouldn't hurt to have them checked and calibrated, even for home use. I'm guessing that you don't do much that would require that kind of precision but it's good to know where they're at.

Agreed. At the very least, I intend to have the standards checked.
