A flatness gauge?

http://boss-proxy.chudov.com/tmp/tmp-0477.jpg.html


It does look quite right for a flatness gauge. The indicator is too close
to nearest part of the base, and the indicator only reads to .001" I
would say this is more likely a step height gauge for some particular
piece of equipment.

It looks something like a router table height gauge but without as much
travel .

correction: meant to say "It does NOT look quite right for a flatness
gauge."
