Picked these up a short time back. A vintage ****** made by Bridgeport Hardware, and by all appearances, a tool for gauging wire size.

I've never seen a tool quite like this before:

Interesting gauge. What is the makers name? It looks like the 10 - 21 notches would be sheet metal gauges, but I don't know what the other ones are for?

Not sure of manufacturer. Missing a digit. DARLA_TON. Searched online for a hour or so, trying variations of the name, and found lots of wire gauges, but could not find this exact one. The notches and associated numbers definitely correspond to American Standard wire gauge.

The folding gauge looks like a wire gauge to me. From fine wires to entrance cable.
