I want to buy this test indicator.

Pictures will be at the bottom of this post.



If you have one, I want to purchase it.



Willing and ready to acquire this gage, and I am able to work with you on the price.



If you locate one, and I am able to purchase it, I will pay a finders fee for the help.



Additionally, I am looking for information about an old tool manufacture

So, to start, I am trying to find information about a machinist: Ivar L Pearson. Pearson was the inventor and manufacture of a unique type of. The earliest known evidence of his business was an advertisement from 1931, from the newspaper: “Inside Facts of Stage and Screen”. His advertisement read:

“‘Machine Shop’

Ivar L Pearson, Expert Machinist

Repair All Kinds of Machines

Pattern Work—Experimental Work

Tools—Dies

No Job Too Small

HOllywood 7619 1356 N. Western

The next known mention of Pearson was on September 15, 1941. Pearson submitted an application for a patent on September 15, 1941.

On February 15, 1944, the application was granted. It was confirmed and announce in the periodical “Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office”, volume 559, page 465, February 1944.

His patent was for a metrology tool that he had invented. The patent number is US2341809A. This new tool was called: “Pearson Dial Indicator” or “Pearson Finger Type Dial Indicator”

The Pearson indicator at first glance resembles the indicator similar to the “H. A. Lowes” “Last Word” indicator, which was owned and manufactured by the L. S. Starrett Company

Here is the patent number and link for the indicator that Pearson invented, and was submitted in 1944: The Patent Number is : US2341809A

And if posting a link is allowed here, here is the link to the patent:

Additionally, I am trying to find any information about the M. & G. Inst. Co. Or later known as MAGICO, that was located and operated in North Hollywood California, who I advertised and manufactured the indicators for Ivar Pearson at some time after he produced the initial product run. They marketed and promoted the indicator in several industry periodicals throughout 1957 from the research I have done. I have not found any information before or after 1957.

Interestingly, I found a single advertisement in the periodical “Tooling & Production” published in May 1957 marketing the indicator. I have not found any other connection to this company, and no information about them either.

Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.
