Anyone used this Micrometer, is it missing anything? The Capstan (Capstan Gauge Co. Brighton)

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!

Someone else may have a better idea but it looks more like a dial indicator than a micrometer. Would be useful for lathe work.

I think @tomh207is correct, plus it measures in inches, mm is far more useful.

Looks like an old imperial measurement dial indicator of some description, fine measurement watchwork is in mm, the effort to convert each time would not make it worth it for me regardless of price.
