Vintage moore & wright #407 insp. hold. base w/ scribe

The tool itself is in beautiful condition, with a nice patina from age and use. The top of the base still shows the case hardening. all surfaces are clean and sharp. The Base is marked Moore & Wright, Sheffield England No.407
The base has a "V" notch on the bottom and one end. the tool includes the screw clamps, rod and double ended scriber. There is no rust, dents or defects of any type. Even the knurls and scriber points are still sharp.
The base measures 4" x 3 3/8 x 1 3/16", the post is 10" long x 3/8" dia., the scriber is 9 1/2" long x 1/8" dia.
I inherited this tool from a retiring machinist, that had it since WW2, when I started out so it is at least 60 years old.
After 32 years as an experimental machinist in a research group I've moved on to other things so I'm cleaning out my tools and stuff (junk) to make room for more junk.
I don't know what else is important in describing this so please check out the photo and email me if you have any questions.
I hope some one can use this, it really deserves a good home.
