Age of This Starret Micrometer?

(1/2) > >>

This also came in one of those $3 "choice" boxes at the Raymond tool auction.  The unique thing about this micrometer is that it has all the 64 ths decimal conversions embossed into the flat section of the tool.  I have at least one other Starret from another yard sale that doesn't have this, so I'm wondering which one is older? As you can imagine, reading those numbers on a 1" mircrometer will induce eye strain quickly!!

Thanks

Note: Starrett has 2 "t"'s in it's name/
Accuracy range on the anvil tells me it is WW2 vintage.
A great tool for your tool chest.

Thanks.  I have another 0-1" micrometer, but this one had the stamped in conversion chart that made it unique to say the least.  Doubt that this one will make it to ebay.....

I have the Starrett 50th anniversary catalog (1880-1930), and it does not show up in there. Only the 16th, and 32nd's scales do. What is the model number on it, if any?

I think too early, several references to the 'new satin finish' micrometer also mention 64's markings, circa 1948...
Annoyingly, no model no's mentioned,  (# 436 is the painted version)
