Starrett Test Indicator
"American Made" light weight test indicators by one of America's original gage manufacturers. They're about as American as hot dogs and apple pie. But, they seem to be hard to find and they're very expensive ($500+)
Not all Starrett dial test indicators are Made in U.S.A. The lower price is usually a tip-off. Starrett Model 3808A is such an example. The more reasonably priced gages come from Starrett's factory in China. (FYI: if there is no country of origin printed on the dial, then it comes from China.) With the 2025 tariff war underway, these prices may also increase.
If you are a die-hard Starrett fan but your budget doesn't allow for the higher-end models, or you simply can't find them, then you may very well wish to take a look at this offering.

A word of caution: repairs are likely to be impossible since the availability of spare parts is uncertain.
