I am new to this forum so I may have several questions as I am also new to the trade. I am proficient in mechanic work including auto, outboards, and small engines and some gunsmithing and woodworking. I inherited quite a few machinist tools from my Grandfather and I would like to familiarize myself with the tools and the trade. There are often times I need parts and pieces tailored and they are no longer available. Anyways, I am hoping if I post some photos a kind soul will be able to tell me what some of the tools are used for. Thank you in advance.

Firstly, I came across something that looks like a standard gage but I have never seen anything like it and was hoping to get some info. He had it in a drawer with the standards shown in the photos and also there were 4 stainless steel balls in there with it. I am at a loss to it's purpose. He didn't have junk and used mostly Starrett but this one is unmarked.
