Sorry if I missed discussion on WF-21s. I searched and didn't see anything. I picked this guy up over the weekend and was surprised not to find any model markings on it, I took the back plate off too thinking maybe it was flipped over, but nothing there either. Did Plomb send these out dry and...

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Rileysan: The 4A means it was made in 1934, which is also the last year they had the round "O" nice find!

Zeet, you mentioned it was 1951 in your original post, any more specifics? I want to try and find that copy of Speed Age for myself, definitely a cool wallhanger!

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Drivesitfar: Any idea where the Plomb girl article is from, I see Speed Age magazine, but can we narrow it down to a month? That'd be a fun one to frame!

Seems anything Diamond around these parts brings a premium, that's a nice find, worthy of a you ****! :beer:

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Here's the collection as it sits today. 5295 3/8 socket set box has original cardboard box with it. Gentleman bought it, put it away for 50 years, and I got it from his son. Pant flecking in places but an amazing find in my estimation, NOS! My...

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Twertsy you paid a pretty penny for that collection of catalogs, I was eyeing them too! :rocker: That was a neat treasure trove of Plomb/Proto ephemera, glad it went to a true collector! Did the guy offer any sort of story along with that...

Another rendition of the beloved flying lady. This one is a tad tiny, however, flying lady is hi-res so it's OK, not my best work... VCaddy, you find much for Proto/Plomb out in Western ND? I hit a few swap meets here on the Eastern side but it's slim pickin's. I think that logo you posted is...

AWESOME! I appreciate all the positive comments and support, I'm not an artsy guy to begin with so I'll keep trying here! Alright, while watching a bit of the ol' debate tonight I was fiddling some more... Here she is with the "plomb bob" logo. I'll continue editing to see if I can get the...

+1 :lol_hitti Only the classy ladies like Ms. Plomb

:lol_hitti Figured no one would read it if it was "New MAC ratchet"

Hey all, posted this on the general tool side too in re a Proto Logo post. Figure I'd post it here, don't want anyone to miss it. Let me know if anyone has any ideas on variations, given time in next few weeks I may play around with PLOMB TOOL CO. instead of PROTO TOOLS... These were done in...

Was playing around on photoshop today, figured I'd attach these two. I do not own the logo, so caveat emptor. May possible play around with putting the PLOMB TOOL CO. Logo on there too, feel free to shout out some ideas, all I can do is try. :thumbup:

Ironically enough, I was thinking about this same topic this morning, and behold, someone posted about it on GJ... :lol_hitti Do you guys know of any books (or other research material for that matter) that pertain to the history of hand tools? I know I have countless books on knives, coins, etc...

altersaddle, you're inspiring me to make my own Proto board. I student taught at a local high school that has an entire wall full of vintage Proto boards and tools. Like you I thought this was the neatest idea ever. Kudos for your tutorial, this is great! :beer: Do you think using a vinyl decal...
