It also comes with the Sun Rise brand on it. Here's some discussion on

Looking at the scale graduations in your pic it would appear to have
extremely poor resolution for caps in the low ESR range. You really
need a meter with an expanded range reading of say 0 - 10 ohms max.
Any higher reading is meaningless since an electro cap with 10 ohms
esr is useless for anything.
