About Brown & Sharpe squares

Brown & Sharpe was a Providence, Rhode Island firm that built machine tools and precision measuring instruments from the nineteenth century onward. Among the squares and calipers recorded here, its strength is shop metrology: machinist's rules, combination and try squares, dividers, and caliper rules like the No. 391 and the No. 677 caliper and wire gauge. Condition drives value, since pitting or a bent blade ruins accuracy; crisp graduations, matched sets, and original boxes as on the near-mint 6 inch try square add to it, and unusual patterns such as the Ames patent center-finding square stand apart from plain rules.

The 29 sales behind these figures come from Jim Bode Value Guide (23), Hyperkitten (5) and Ted Dawson Antique Tools (1), and run from 2020 to 2026; 5 closed in the last twelve months.
