actual metal working content - what do these tips fit?

Question

I put a pair of fines into the metalworking dropbox

formatting link

called "indicator-tips" - I don't see the files there yet, but they will show up soon I'm sure (I just discovered that I messed up and sent the text file twice - I've re-uploaded the JPG - with any luck it will be there)

formatting link

it looks like it's there now.... The file indicator-tips.JPG has been added to the Drop Box as "indicator-tips.JPG". The file indicator-tips.txt has been DEFERRED for manual handling as "indicator-tips.txt-2".

anyone have a clue what indicator these fit? they don't go with anything I have, so some idea of what they fit will help me find them a proper home

ok, interesting that no one has offered a suggestion as to what these tips fit - there has to be someone on this group that has seen these before - they don't go on any of the indicators I have (B&S, Starrett, SPI, and so on) - some of you guys with experience with older tools, please take a look and see if you can offer a hint or two

Hi Bill, Maybe these are for an old mechanical test indicator like one of these  Bill, I finally got charter to let me post

Thnaks, you were right - these tips fit an IDEAL Tool Co, "Single Ideal Test Indicator" that looks a lot like the unit in your photo - conveniently I have one with the original box, so now the tips are with something they belong to. (of course I don't really need more than one of these Ideal indicators.....)
