Lately, auction prices have been zooming into the stratosphere but I managed to snag a couple of things this week at a reasonable price:
All in, $40 for everything pictured (and a couple of boxes of nails, etc).
The thing that really caught my eye was the depth mic:
An Ambrose Shardlow (Sheffield England). With the various rods, it can measure from 0 to 8 inches. Turns freely and no obvious damage to the working bits. "P. Zuch" proudly marked his name on it. A little internet research says that Armbrose Shardlow was bought out in 1963. I can't imagine that the mic is that old. They must have continued to use the name for considerable time afterwards. Also a little confused about the box. The mic fits but does not fill the cutout shape. The rods, however, fit nicely.
