Antique Hilger & Sons 4" Caliper Dividers

These vintage 4" long caliper dividers are marked "HILGER & SONS." Probably intended for mapwork. At first I thought one of the tips was broken, but upon closer inspection it might be an intentional feature, looks like a finer piece of metal welded to the end (maybe for scratch marking? Could be a later modification, too). They open up just beyond a 90 degree angle. Takes some effort to open and close them, but they stay firmly in position once they're set.
