Vintage Harpenden Skinfold Caliper Metal With Case Original Users Manual

This is a vintage Harpenden skinfold caliper with precision dial. This skinfold caliper was developed in the 1950s at the Harpenden Research Institute in England and became the gold standard for body composition assessment in clinical and research settings. It is designed to provide precise measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness with consistent pressure application for accurate body fat percentage calculations. Comes in the original wood case and instruction pamphlets. The foam that it sits on is starting to disintegrate, but the caliper itself is in excellent condition.
