Hi everyone. I trust you're all doing well. There's this vintage micrometer that popped up locally for sale for around $28.88/£22.81/€26.92. Anyone used this model before? If so, is it missing anything? I feel like its missing the sharp knib for the micrometer to measure? But in context of currency, a local Big Mac from McDonalds is $2.83/£2.23/€2.64 equivalent. I added pictures. Please kindly advise. Would be much appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone, I trust you're all well. I have a vintage hand lifting tool, it works well. I am just not sure what the purpose of the swivel screw is for. The swivel is the one where you can adjust by the brass knob. I added pictures. The screw seems to go up and down? Is it just for ergonomics or it has a hand placing function? Anyone familiar with it? Please kindly advise. Appreciated. Thank you. Kind Regards, Pap3r

Found this nice little staking tool at a "buy out". Needed a good sprucing up but after some "spit and polish" turned out nice. Received a some amount of abuse in the form of well...I don't know how to put it...it seems one of its owners got carried away with a hammer and ruined a few stakes. Replaced of them, polished up the rest and refinished the wood holder. I believe this was a National. As you can see it's missing the pedestal. My instructor tells me watchmakers often removed it as it was awkward to work with. When I have the time and resources I'll turn a new one.
