Mega Plomb Haul

[r_olson_06]

I'm always looking for some nice pebble combos to replace the worn ones in my collection.

Definitely some of those. I listed some of the larger ones the other day.

Are there any hinged speeders in there? Particularly of the older variety?

Here are some pictures of the Plomb Pile.

Is that a part of George Robin's collection. He was in Oregon when he passed away, but someone in Northern California bought his collection.

Yes. These are part of Georges collection from the Northern California collector. I did have some Georges original collection from Jim and Marsha who sold it off including a 9/16" drive set.

Rob had an unbelievable collection. He met me in Bend, OR one time and showed me notebooks full of pictures of what he had.

Thanks to an eagle eye GJ member alerting me to an eBay listing, I now finally have one on the way! Thanks. That being said, if Roy wants to let it go I would definitely be interested.

I think it is a standard Ell not the double ended one.

Yes. Talking with several Plomb collectors he truly lived for it. Didn't he make it to 102?

I don't know, but it could be. I first got to know him when he lived in Louisiana. When his wife passed he moved to Oregon. There he remarried. I think he was in his mid-90's when I met him in Bend in 2010, but I'm not positive..

Here's a picture of him in '03 in Louisiana.

My Plomb box came from Rob’s collection.

You've been busy getting your listings up Roy! When I saw that WF-134 listed I had to recheck my wish list, but I already have it! I'll keep watching.

For sure. We are digging through the pails hoping to find some more rare ones. I don't remember seeing any WF water pump wrenches when we loaded which would be nice.

A few of the listed breaker bars and 3/4" drive sockets.

 

[bonneyman]

Man, you've got that down to a science!
