Notice its marked down from $68?..thats 300% markup even there

Notice they're not the same brand....

They clearly are different.

FWIW, I have a dial indicator that I got at the Snap-On warehouse in
Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969 (yes, they actually had a counter where
you could buy stuff). It is from "Central Tools" and has the same logo
as shown in the Sears listing. Meanwhile, if you check the current
Snap-On catalog they show micrometers from "Blue Point, Country of
Origin: China".
