Hello:
Not sure if this is the right spot for this question, but what is this thing that I bought? I know what the Mitutoyo Digimatic Indicator is obviously, but is this a "standard" setup or was this something made specifically for a shop?
I purchased it on an auction and it came out of a die stamping facility. I think I paid $12 for it.

I agree, looks like a jig for measuring something specific. When I worked for a major office furniture company, the receiving department had all kinds of devices like that to test the incoming parts for meeting specs.
 
It is a drop indicator with custom jigs for parts. very common in high production shops.
 
it looks like a hellava deal to me!
i'll concur, it's for specialty parts measuring
 
Thank you for the replies guys!! So far it is just sitting in my shop looking pretty. I keep thinking about what I can do with it. ;)
