Up for sale is a genuinely scarce piece of American industrial history: a vintage Federal Products Corporation Dial Test Indicator, custom-manufactured under corporate contract directly for the Ford Motor Company.
Unlike standard commercial Federal indicators of the era that utilized decimal layouts (.001"), this highly specialized variant features a fractional 1/1000 face configuration designed to align precisely with early Ford factory blueprint specifications and internal toolroom standards.
Authentic Automobilia: Features the crisp, iconic script Ford logo prominently displayed in the upper half of the dial face.
Mechanical Status: Bench tested and fully operational with a smooth plunger movement.
Cosmetic Appeal: The dial face remains remarkably clean, vibrant, and legible, free of heavy oxidation or typical factory grease clouding. The casing shows an authentic, honest patina earned from years on the line.
A fantastic cross-collectible that bridges early 20th-century precision machining history with classic Detroit automotive heritage. Perfect for a display cabinet, a specialized tool collection, or a vintage garage setup.
