Ouch, that one hurt, I have been looking to add small hole and telescoping gages to my box for some years!

I believe that is a radius gauge set, used to measure the radius of a piece. You hold the convex or concave measure check against a curved piece and shine a light from underneath to check for light leakage.

Me too! I woulda grabbed them had I seen them in time. Kudo's to their new owner!
These radius gauges are also very precision! Manufactured with-in .001 of an inch. There should also be "holder" with those gauges. It's a tubular piece about 5/16" in diameter and maybe 4 or 5 inches long with a slot cut in the side with a knurled nut at the bottom. You insert the gauge into the slot and tighten the nut to hold the gauge in place. The holder allows you to place the gauge into remote area. Years ago, we always had a set of these radius gauges in the drafting room. They got a lot of use. They are still available new but they are not cheap.
