Description: Vintage Athol Machine Co. 8" (8-3/8" overall length) Outside Caliper Great addition to anyone's tool collectionAthol Machine CompanyAthol Machine Company is the grand-daddy of tool manufacturing in Athol. This is the company that was formed in the spring of 1868 to produce L S Starrett's invention of the meat chopper, and other inventions that may arise in the future. Same company that started making vises c1873.Starrett got in a dispute with the other owners, left the company c1877, and following his invention of the combination square right around that time he went independent, establishing what is today's L S Starrett Company in 1880. Then as he brought out other tools, especially measuring tools, calipers, etc., Athol Machine started copying some as well as developing their own unique items. Starrett sued, eventually won, and 25 years after he started his own business he bought out what remained of Athol Machine, put money into it, expanded the vise production by a great amount in a new factory he built for them on that same spot, and in 1921 it became known as Athol Machine and Foundry. Starrett still controlled the business.Athol Machine lasted until about 1965 - the main building still stands, but badly deteriorated.
