    These have me stumped!!

    Hey guys, Some of you have seen my large vintage tool collection that I inherited. Over the past few months I've been cleaning them up. Well these have me very perplexed. First I looked for a makers mark but they were very rusty so I set off to clean them up. I thought the ornate handles were...

    Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

    These are my favorite style sockets that I have in my tool collection. Anerican quality at it's finest. I think I may need to start collecting a set. I have quite a few brands that don't do much for me but I see some people love them. These are my tools, there are many like them, but...

    Please help identify this tool.

    I don't have a band saw but I suppose it could. You can see the channel on the one side of the jaws and the other jaw has 45 degree corners. The corner against the bottom has a bur on it from something being locked in at that angle many times. These are my tools, there are many like them, but...

    Please help identify this tool.

    I inherited and was given a large quantity of vintage tools. While I've grown up working on cars and am familiar with most of the tools in these tool chests this one has stumped me. It's some sort of press but for the life of me I can't figure out what it was used to press. The company name...

    Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

    I found another dual marked wrench in the pile last night. Kind of a unique offset to this one. Or maybe it's just bent. These are my tools, there are many like them, but these are mine. Everything is for sale if you have enough money.

    The journey through my vintage tool collection

    Ahh, a probation period. 100 seems a bit excessive. Maybe it's a trust thing, I get it, some people are shady...but no worries...I'm not here to rip anyone off. Here's a couple of pictures of something else these tools helped me build in my driveway. It started out as an old bread truck but now...

    The journey through my vintage tool collection

    Hey guys...and girls. I'm new to the forum and already a few of you have been a big help. So I wanted to introduce myself, and my tools. I'll try to be brief. I grew up with a dad that loved cars and motorcycles. I have old photos of me helping him at an early age. Then I had a stepfather who...

    WILLIAMS Tools of Industry show yours and post any history or company details you can

    Nice..that's in great shape. I did a little more reading and it was the largest size combination wrench that Williams offered for a good amount of time. And you're right I can't imagine this being my daily use combination wrench and judging by the hammer marks that are on it I'm guessing it...

    Quick question...I have a few of these monsters. But this one is marked special. Why was it special? I can't seem to find any information on the special marking. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk
