Certainly have a few tools marked Henry Boker here. They are all robust
looking, well made and function well. From memory my stash includes:
dividers, spring calipers, double ended calipers, fret saw and blades,
tap and die sets, sockets and rachet drivers,...

Have a small pair of calipers of similar construction, but from memory,
made by english company, possibly Moore & Wright.
