I bought a Starrett 36 " 25 division vernier caliper for $25 and was thrilled. I would think anything under $100 would be a bargain. They are easy to calibrate, slide the jaws together and set zero.
I paid $90 shipped for my 18" Mitutoyo verniers with wood case & I was happy. Being at an antique mall sounds like they might not let it go for cheap unless they have no idea what it is so considering that I wouldn't pay more than $150 if they are really really clean. $100-$125 would be more like it & if you can get em for under $100 don't think twice.
Around here if someone puts "antique" in the description they think whatever they are selling is worth more than plutonium.
