I don't believe anyone uses vernier calipers anymore. I've got a
Helios dial caliper made a long time ago in Deutschland, but nowadays a
caliper with a LCD is probably a lot cheaper.

In UK, you can get vernier calipers for around GBP1 (and mine check out
as quite sufficiently accurate). LCD calipers are about GBP35.

You can get low-end LCD calipers in the US for the equivalent of about
GPB8 plus tax. For GPB1 ($1.99) I think you'd get some stamped or
plastic item that would only be good to 0.01".
