I don't know about "collect" - to me that implies acquiring older models. I seem to accumulate them though, mostly Mitutoyo, Starrets & Moore and Wright in metric & imperial ranging in stroke from 10mm to 6" and with dials from 1" to 4".

Yeah accumulate is the word. They just seem to breed in the drawer sometimes. There was a dial collection thread, I can't remember what it was called.

Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

Can't say I collect them they just seem to follow me home. I have a vintage australian large face (approx 10cm) dial indicator. Unfortunately I am away with work and can't remember the brand name. Will post a photo next week when I get home.
By the way is it possible to have to many?

I used to have far more than I have now and I still have too many. Probably time to offload the excess.
