There are two that I use, one expensive and quality, the other much
cheaper and of significantly worse quality.  Both seem to send thing
quickly and they look the same as the pictures.  Both also have a printed
catalog which they will send in the first shipment.

Quality:  Sears/Craftsman brand http://shop.sears.com/store/craftsman/
They have micrometers of different qualities, maybe from about $25 for a
0-1" and more.

Cheap-o:

enjoy!  I think they have a 3 piece set of 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 in micrometers
for $28 total, I can't say how well they work or last.  I'd say you are
lucky if they have no rust on them at the time of delivery.
