Beschreibung: This pocket craftsman's tool from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is made of solid cast brass with a distinctive period patina, offering valuable technical testimony to the introduction of a unified metric system in the Austro-Hungarian region. The uniqueness of this piece lies in its dual scale, combining the classic metric system in millimeters (METER) with the older traditional system of Viennese inches (WIEN), which was deeply rooted throughout Central Europe before the standardization of measurements. The caliper features a functional sliding jaw with its original rounded brass fixing rivet. Natural surface wear and fine abrasions highlight its authentic history, making it a very attractive collector's item in the field of historical tools.
