Any Idea What This Is?

I had the pleasure of purchasing (4) of those when I was working an ordnance project back in the '80's. Can't remember what they went for though.
They sure are sweet.

What does the asset tag say?
 
Looks like between $600-$1200 on eBay. No completed listings though.
 
What's an asset tag?
We've got them on anything big/expensive enough to be considered an accounted capital expense at work. Basically a tag with an ownership stamp (eg property of company blah) and a serial number for accounting to keep track of where the item is and when it enters and leaves service. Ours are usually stamped with a reminder to turn the tag in if the asset is scrapped or not to scrap the asset without notifying accounting
 
Looks like what they were using in the video "How its made Dial Indicators"

How its made

at about time 4:49.
 
I heard from Mark at M.R. indicator repair that his dad helped design this for B&S. He convinced me to keep it. Not even sure how to use it. I'll have to figure that out soon.
