    I wonder if it is something to do with wig making, measuring bundles of human hair ?

    Looks like those 2 projections on the right hand side are pressed against something, then the brass button is pressed so that the needle shows thickness or depth, either G or W. The rest of it looks like a perforation gauge for stamps.

    It's nothing to do with stamps and I added the bit that says "to measure width".

    Having said that, (and knowing what it is) I can't see how Bobby G isn't correct............

    Except, I still don't know what it is. Used in the post office for sizing letters for postage costs?

    Knowing what it is, I'm surprised that no-one this time has mentioned the "sheep angle". :mrgreen:

    ^How much are you going to give away? I have seanthecon on a string, don't spoil it.

    I sent A77 a pic by e-mail. He's at work so that means he has plenty of time on his hands to look at it.

    Seeing as I'm taking a break from colouring in I'll join in :lol:

    Does it make sure all of the cogs inside a watch are properly aligned to keep time correctly?

    Oi! I do have a life and technically, he's not quite got it.

    It is for measuring watch crystals but seen as you've given it to him...
