Starrett Micrometer Magnifiers...ever seen these?

[HanShotFirst]

Hey all,

Several years back I picked up these two mint condition Starrett Micrometers and they both had these really nifty magnifiers on the dials. I have never seen these before, and my google-fu is inadequate to find anything like them. I'd like to get some for the rest of my micrometers because they're just too damn convenient. Just wondering if anyone else has seen these before, or even better; knows where I can get more???

Yes I most certainly have.

Have you tried contacting Starrett and inquiring?


Hey if after searching and you can't find what your looking for try one of these http://www.harborfreight.com/magnifier-head-strap-with-lights-38896.html cheap and really come in handy when you need it.

Though after looking at the pictures, it appears as though those magnifiers are not custom made for those micrometers, looks more like the magnifiers were altered to custom fit the micrometers handles?
Those magnifiers could possibily be "clip on type magnifiers" that are used more for thermometer reading? Click on the following links.

I have looked through their catalog, but I didn't think about calling them.

Those certainly aren't listed in the catalog. Are you sure Starrett made the magnifiers?

No I'm not sure...if it's someone else, I'd sure like to find out whom, because they're the chit!!
