Interesting. I half read “great-grandfather” before realizing that’s not what you said. If you don’t mind my asking, what did your great-grandmother do to require owning a micrometer? Wartime factory work maybe, or actually a civilian machinist? Just curious, you don’t have to say if you’d rather not.

She worked at synthane they made laminated products and she working in the repair department and my great grandfather worked there too when he first started he was given a 12 inch starrett rule from one of the employees who was retiring and it is from 1924 and I have tons of other tools from them I learned a lot from my great grandfather he taught me so much.

Edit: synthane made laminated plastic

Thanks, that’s very cool and neat that you have the connection in the tools handed down
