Up for your consideration here is well-preserved and fully functional 6" Machinist Spring Caliper bearing the Union Tool Co. brand. This excellent vintage piece is not easily dated as to the precise time of its manufacture because of the amalgamation of machine tool companies over the past 100 years. However, regardless of where this tool was actually made (or when), it is still today a wonderful example of precision manufacturing from one of New England's premiere tool companies at a time when the United States was the world-wide leader in the production of high-quality tools for professionals. Shipped FREE via USPS Priority Mail to the lucky new owner. The Union Tool Company In 1957, Millers Falls acquired the Union Tool Company, a small firm of about 100 employees located at 48 East River Street in Orange, Massachusetts. Union Tool, in business since 1908, was a manufacturer of gauges, rules, squares and machinists’ tools. The Millers Falls Company was especially interested in the operation’s combination squares—popular, mid-range products that were a good complement to its line of consumer hand tools. After the purchase, Millers Falls allowed Union Tool to operate with a great deal of independence, a situation that continued until the late 1960s when company management insisted on a greater integration with the larger operation. Millers Falls marketed the Union Tool Company’s products under the Union, Millers Falls and Sears labels, and continued to operate the Union Tool factory until 1975 when the plant was sold, and the Union brand became inactive
