Vintage Moore & Wright No.933 Micrometer in Original Case
This lot is a vintage Moore & Wright No.933 micrometer, offered in its original fitted case. The micrometer is a hand-held outside measuring tool of the traditional form, with a C-shaped frame, fixed anvil, spindle, and knurled sleeve and thimble. The case is marked “Moore & Wright (Sheffield) Ltd Eng.”, identifying the maker’s Sheffield origin. The frame carries the model designation “No.933” along with a series of small numerical markings, and the sleeve bears graduated scale markings.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
The case is an original component of the lot and shows general wear, including scuffing and softening to the leather-effect covering, with the Moore & Wright lettering still legible. The micrometer shows age-related wear to its finish, with some light marking and dulling to the metal. Buyers should examine the micrometer and its case carefully before bidding. The combination of a named maker, a model number, and the original case will appeal to collectors of vintage engineering tools, Sheffield-made measuring instruments, and those building a display of early precision equipment.
