Micrometers. Can you ID them?

About 14 years ago when I started working in a metal shop for the first time, I had to purchase some of my own tools. I ordered an 8" Fowler caliper, but a guy that had his own shop gave me 3 mics of his. He told me that he goes to the flea market and looks for used tools. He then pulled out of his pocket some gages and said "I always carry these with me". A year later when he was leaving I gave them back, but he told me to keep them "I probably have another 5 sets down my shop". No case with them and no name on them. Any idea of who makes them and how old they might be? They're accurate to 1 tenth, Fwiw. The place I now work calibrates them annually and they don't get rejected.

They look a LOT like some chinesium ones that I have, and I don't think they have any brand name on them either.

The one with the black plastic is definitely an Asian import, and probably the other too. If they were Japanese, European, or USA they would have manufacturer info.

As a rule the better ones have a name marked on them... This post will drive me nuts as they say. Yes I would think Chinese made but it will dive bat **** crazy looking.

Etalon.
Shars.
Tesa.
SPI.
Procheck.
Insize.
Mahr.

I agree and have seen that exact Font on other Asian made measuring tools.

Fwiw, all 3 had the black plastic plates on them, but somehow the 1" one disappeared and I haven't the slightest clue how or where it went to.

Thanks.
