That Gladwin Mike would be for use truing stuff in a lathe I guess.
I like Lufkin stuff.
My 12” combination square set is Lufkin, the heads are a pinky/orange colour, original I think.
Is your collection all this sort of metrology?
If so the guys over on the metal forum might like it also.
I have a couple of books on US patents on this stuff, bought them when 20 or so years back when I was madly into collecting and have never even unwrapped them.
Can do so if you’re interested.

Some nice stuff. The items with the dials are called "dial indicators" here in the U.S.

The Stanley no. 66 rule has an early type Sweetheart logo so it would date to about 1919-1921 apparently.
