It has three tips covered with removable cap.
Dial is glass and plus and minus.
Brand is KHCB?
Picked up a recent Estate Sale.

interesting
The 2 outer pins are stationary & the center pin operates the dial(probably .001's of an inch) to measure flatness of a surface or similar applications.
Good call B'buss, it is a dial indicator but unlike any that I have used!
Turns out it is a lens clock.
A lens clock measures the curvature of a surface, but gives the result as an optical power in diopters.
Measures the concave & convex (+ -)
