Don't seem to be in stock but may be of interest if you have a need for them.

Well there is something I never knew existed.

I think after learning to use right handed versions I would probably find it hard to use a left handed version now.

^Ditto. I've always found "normal" ones troublesome but have learned to live with them. Those would be worth buying if only to have on hand to let a righty try and use them. Nobody mention can openers!

It would put the read on the top facing the toolpost when working a lathe, that could be quite useful.

left handed Mic would be useful. (shhhh, don't tell him Pike).

Certainly would, the number of times digital or dial callipers won't sit close enough to the face of a piece to measure a shallow spigot with the readout in a convenient reading position is annoying.
Would save having to use basic callipers to transfer a reading.

Not sure I can justify yet another set though given the number I have already.
