JTJC,
One thing that I would like to point out is that I believe there is a difference in the quality of glass measuring gauges.
In the photo, yes, I've had the JJBabbitt longer, however, if you'll look at the name on the glass gauge, even it has spots missing. This end, of course, is only slid up or down on the mpc until the tip of the mpc is at the Zero reference line. I should think that with such little friction movement, the name and lines around it should have remained pretty much intact Also note how thin all of the printing is on this gauge.
On the right side is my newer Theo Wanne. Yes, I have used it, however, no damage is seen on the lines or on the name. The white printing appears to be about 3 or 4 times thicker than the Babbitt. It is simply my judgement call that the Theo Wanne is a higher quality made glass measuring gauge.
p.s. The photo was just over 2 Mb. I'll try taking a smaller one and post it.
