An assortment of five vintage tools for woodworking and engineering measurement and marking. The collection comprises a traditional marking gauge made from beech wood with a sliding fence and a metal pin, the stem stamped with the numeral 7. Also included is a steel vernier caliper for internal and external measurements, featuring graduated scales and locking screws. The set contains a combination square with a black-painted cast metal head and a 12-inch steel rule. A sliding T-bevel gauge is present, featuring a dark hardwood stock with metal faceplates and a slotted steel blade, adjusted by a brass wing nut. A secondary 12-inch steel rule with etched graduations completes the lot. Attributed to the USA, the metal components require a recheck for silver content (unconfirmed). Dimensions: Rule L 30.5 cm (12 inches). Condition: The items are in used condition with signs of age and workshop use. Metal parts show surface oxidation, patination, and minor pitting. The wooden elements have surface staining and wear. The combination square lacks its original spirit level vial and scriber tool. All sliding parts and mechanical adjustments appear functional.
