Well...it wasn't purchased today. More like a couple years ago, maybe.
I know it's a caliper, and the joint is unusual (box?). The ends, when fully closed, are NOT the same dimension (inside vs outside).
My queries are: What is the correct name for this tool, and IS that a box joint? The adjustable stop suggests lathe-work, but I'm not sure about that.
It appears to be shop-made, rather than mass-manufactured; or perhaps a school or apprentice project.
I cannot make the name come up anywhere.
Whatever comments or information you would care to make will be gratefully received, and acknowledged. Thanks!
