This adjustable dove tail marker made in brass was a birthday present from my father about 10 years ago. Best present I got that year. No makers mark, just a patent number 29191. 3.5 inches across when closed.
It's called a Murray's Expanding Dovetail Gauge. #84 on this auction sheet.

Wood workers would kill for that. It's very rare! People on forums really want it.
Thanks for the information and I enjoyed looking through the catalogue on your link. Its odd that Murrays did not put their name on such a well made item
