History
"Commonly known as dancing-master calipers, many different legged calipers were shop made throughout the 18th and 19th and centuries and into the early 20th century. The calipers get their name from their shape, usually dancing legs, though some show entire silhouettes of ladies or men (and, occasionally, on a risqué example, both). Considered folk art, many dancing-master calipers show the whimsy of their maker: legs bare or stocking clad, female or male, elegant or awkward. Though the profiles on most calipers look best with the legs set to check inside dimensions, the legs can usually be rotated to take outside measurements as well." - The Art of Fine Tools by Sandor Nagyszalanczy, p. 21 -
