P&C 1/2"drive socket set - SOLD
Deal of the Day - SOLD to Bolster
Here's an unusual set - P&C is best known as a subsidiary of Plomb Tool (later Proto), but was an interesting and innovative company in its own right. Founded around 1920, the company had developed a very extensive line of automotive service tools by the end of the 1920s.
In addition to establishing its own line of tools, P&C also served as the direct or indirect catalyst in the founding of two other tool businesses: Thorsen Manufacturing of Oakland, California, and General Tool of Portland, Oregon.
Own a piece of American tool history - P&C 1/2" drive sockets:
7/16"
1/2" - (3)
9/16" - (2)
5/8"
11/16"
3/4"
13/16" - (2)
7/8"
15/16"
1"
11/16" deep
5/8" deep (2)
2" extension
Plus some langianappe:
3/8" dr 3/4" deep sockets - (2)
3/8"x7/16" box end wrench
These are late production, probably early 1960s, chrome is perfect on most, all are in excellent condition and ready to use. They should be worth $20 shipped.
