Added a couple more combos over the weekend.
1" Indestro Super
7/8" and 3/4" WIZARD. These were rode hard and put away wet, but I really like the design.

 

[twertsy]

Some cool combos I scored today!

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

Those are very cool, I dig the raised markings.

Here are some small combos from the Dunlap box.

Not sure how "vintage" these are (<20 years, I'm guessing), but they are NOS. I bought 'em because I realized I don't have a set of metric combo wrenches! Gasp!

Yes, at bottom of frame is an IBM Model M keyboard and an HP-35 calculator. I like old stuff.

 

[RedVise]

Challenger combo set with home made roll, likely from 60's.
Used to belong to Joe C.

After seeing your wrenches I remembered having one that style. This is the only one that style I've come across.

Wrench drawer. About 2'x4'. All SAE

 

[d42jeep]

That is an impressive wrench drawer. What are the brands?
I found a variety of wrenches at the flea yesterday. I believe that the small PowrKraft wrench was supplied by Barcalo.

Here are my Metric and SAE Craftsman professional stubbys. I don't use them much but they can be lifesavers when I do.

I have a few combos, but some of your collections put mine to shame.

I am out of town right now, but will post pictures on my return.

I love these threads, when my wife suggests that I have too many tools, I show here this type of thread.

That drawer above your post is made up of craftsman, GearWrench, and Sunnex.

Not much love for combos I guess... this poor thread was 14 pages deep.
New additions:
P&C 7/16"
Bonney Loc-Rite 13MM
Thorsen 15MM
Proto L.A. 13/16"
Plomb pebble (bent) 5/8"
JC Penney 9/16"

 

[d42jeep]

Nice pick ups! The 15mm Thorsen is one that I'm missing. I posted mine on the Thorsen thread but they probably should be posted here as well, since you resurrected the thread.

Nice combos boys! Keep 'em coming. Jason, you still have that VTC combo (3/4 I think?) you posted a few posts back? I need to check inventory........might need that one. FYI, they made Cornwell's wrenches forever, then Cornwell bought them.

The 15mm Thorsen is one that I'm missing.

Nice Combos! I've the got the 15mm sitting aside to be included in your next care package.

...you still have that VTC combo (3/4 I think?) you posted a few posts back? I need to check inventory........might need that one.

Yep, I've still got it. Sitting right next to my small collection of old Mac combos. Sad to say that I left a larger VTC combo at the flea yesterday. Don't recall the size though...

Cross posting some P&C combos over here. Still a work in progress. If anyone has some spares, lemme know. I'm missing anything over #2736 (1-1/8"), missing: 2722, 2720, 2718, 2712, 2710.

 

[DadsTools]

Nice Sam! I really like those Bonney wrenches.
I've got a set of Bonney combos that I've been slowing accumulating. I think these are 50s vintage. I'd like to get the DBEs as well.
I've got #s 1166; 1165; 1164; 1162; 1159 (broken boxed end)

Any Bonney box ends with lobe-broaching would be post-1964 Loc-Rite.

 

[DadsTools]

Just for fun....

A "combo" before its time!

Here are two from my wife's rusty tool display.
-Don

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Those cut-outs probably pre-date the gas-power tractor (seeder, cultivator, etc).

 

[Toothaker]

Hand me that Crescent wrench, will ya?

 

[DadsTools]

Here are two from my wife's rusty tool display.
-Don

The one with the cut-out letters are popular. The ones with the solid handles (like the one I posted) are almost worthless, maybe $2-$3 each. Apparently, tons of these were sold and no one ever threw them away so there's lots of them out there.

Some more combos from this weekends spoils.
4 Barcalo
Berylco
Plomb
Vanadium Tool Co.

First Berylco anything that I've seen/found in the wild.

 

[d42jeep]

Speaking of Barcalo, my flea seller has been coming up with some large combos recently.
-Don

 

[d42jeep]

Here are my Thorsen metric combos. I was surprised to see that I don't have a 10mm in any style.

That shouldn't surprise you. I can't find a 10MM anywhere in my shop! Socket, wrench, doesn't matter, they simply disappear.

 

[LesserSon]

My Barcalo combos; a few still to find.

 

[LesserSon]

Indestro combos (some are branded Westline); a few yet to find.

 

[LesserSon]

Bonney Streamline SAE combos.

 

[LesserSon]

Bonney Outline (some Streamline) metric combos.
Edit - accidently included a second 15mm.
Hmmm...and my posts are all low-res images...not intentional.

 

[d42jeep]

My Barcalo combos; a few still to find.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a Barcalo problem!

Hi,
Here's mine.. I suppose these may just scrape through as vintage, they have a 1991 date code, but may be interesting anyway. I bought them new off the Snap On van, the first of the 'Flank Drive Plus' wrenches to become available. They weren't even patented then so are marked PAT PEND.
A full set of these were so eye wateringly expensive that I only bought the 4 most common sizes in use here at that time, the 10,13,17 and 19mm AF (for M6,8,10 and 12 bolts). They've been my most used wrenches ever since and yes, the open end does grip way better than a standard one.

Picked up a handful of combos this weekend.
2x SK; 2X Bonney; Easco; Plomb; Wright; Blackhawk.
The Wright and Blackhawk are metric. I've been trying to put together a nice US made set of metric combos, but they seem few and far between.

 

[LesserSon]

Today I filled the 3/8" hole that's been lurking in my early Bonaloy (1944-1947, tapered shank) combos. Still looking for sizes 1-⅛" to 1-7/16" to complete the set.

 

[Username already in use]

A few combination wrenches followed me home this weekend.
Bonney (triangle era)
Snapon
3x SK metric
Craftsman
1-1/4" SK Wayne

 

[Username already in use]

Today's haul puts me much closer to finishing up an SAE set of SK combos.
Not at all vintage, but I was very excited to find a couple of WrightGrip combos today for just a couple bucks each!
SK metric and 2 SK-Wayne and a couple of Master Mechanics in metric sizes that I'll mix in with an Easco set.
