A member of our club is selling his reloading equipment, so everyone rummaged in the boxes!
I bought a dial caliper which was branded "Lee" in their old font style. I paid £10 for it, about $12.50. Do any of you Lee historians know when Lee offered these calipers? I have several of their catalogues covering the past 20 years, and can't see one.

Re: Lee Precision branded dial caliper
Great find! I have not seen one offered.
I've moved this to the Memorabilia forum. One was offered on eBay sometime this past year but the logo on the rule was missing, making it not interesting at all.

Yes, Memorabilia is the best place, I didn't realise it is so unusual. Thanks, Ranch Dog. The caliper is in perfect working order and is now my preferred 'measurer'.

Re: Lee Precision branded dial caliper
Weren't there two LEE companies? One doing tools, one (later) doing reloading stuff?
