Besides the writing being in different locations on the handle the forging of my wrench is very crude looking almost like somebody took a socket and cut it in half and welded a handle on it.

So this was one of the first tools I found when looking for Plomb tools at a thrift store. I never gave it much thought until I stumbled on a picture of it on alloy artifacts. It's referred to as the first double Helix offset box end wrench. Made by Frank Mossberg/APCO. My question is my wrench...

So I came across these little pliers the other day and it's taking me forever to make out the letters in the triangle logo they are WK Co inside of a triangle alloy artifacts briefly states that they are still an unidentified maker but doesn't really talk about what the tool is and what the date...

It's 26 wide x 12.5 deep x19.5 tall. Just got done transferring the contents of a 10 drawer 80s Craftsman over. Now to decide if the Craftsman gets a tune-up and repaint as it's got dents and badly faded paint.

Here's the results of a late night and a lot of elbow grease.

I also found a really small master key taped to the inside drawer it is not for the toolbox it is silver and has weird little fan looking things coming off the front like teeth I was trying to date that but that's even harder than Date the power craft box

Now if I can only date it the other box that I refinished had three numbers in the upper tray on the left hand side that said 274 I'm assuming that was February of 1974 does anybody know when Montgomery Ward's was just called wards as that's the difference on their logos

Yes and built by Remline

I'm feeling like a kid on Christmas morning found out the other day that my bottom box that I couldn't identify is a Proto. today I happen to sell a Sawzall on Facebook Marketplace and while I was getting ready to Mark the listing as sold I happened to spot a vintage tool box pop up in...

Thanks for the info Yes it does have the 2 right patents and made in the USA it is a number 2 Phillips as I use those at work everyday however there still is no logo .I cleaned up the handle of the crappy varnish that somebody had put on it and the wood is nice and blond has the name on the...

I guess why we're on this topic of Vlchek I would like to know a little more about this wrench if anybody has any info this was another thing I found. didn't know who it was until I came across a thread showing this logo there are no size markings on it but they measure out to 3/8 on one end...

So I was sorting through some tools I picked up the other day and something that had caught my eye was this wooden handled screwdriver that said Phillips-LIC 6 . after closer inspection I saw the words Vlchek on the handle. it looks like somebody had restained the handle and did a crappy job...

there was a plaque on the first wide drawer of the bottom box but it is missing the two rivets are not the same distance apart as the upper boxes plaque hence I deducted it was not a Craftsman the handles resemble so many other boxes I see pictures of on the web it is very hard for me to try and...

I have quite a few tools I could use help with some information on I try to use alloy artifacts but this in particular tool only had a reference and really didn't give me a detailed description but would like to know more about this offset box end wrench from APCO says patent applied for on handle

Here's what started it all my three quarter inch Drive Plomb ratchet and a pic of my grandfather's United Delco spark plug cabinet I inherited
