so i went to a booth with this older man selling all kinds of stuff, Cameras, glassware and all kind of knick nacks. I then found this beauty under some washers and bolts. It's a brown and Sharpe No.38 and looks pretty good for how old it is. i also got the lot for $15 and I can't complain.

There was also 2 mics which were no name and one that is very hard to read but says "Central man. Co Auburn MI certified accuracy" on the black tag

I also found a mic operation manual

also, there's just something so neat about old school graphics

I got a Lufkin manual as well, sadly there was no Lufkin.

Here are the pages if anyone wants to read it.

Awesome find! I don’t have a practical use for a micrometer in my hobbies but I’d like to think I’d pick those up if I came across them at a flea market too.
