When I started looking for inspection stuff after getting the surface plate, I came across the Hermann Schmidt surface gage.

Clearly a very nice tool that would outlast me. Everything they make is of the highest quality. More searching for a good deal and I discovered this was actually made by Murkens Precision Tool. They sell direct for a significantly lower price. I sent an email, and they quickly answered my questions. If I understand correctly, Dave Jr. is making these. UPS just dropped this off:

Really nice tool that will be a pleasure every time I use it.
