What are the two obstruction wrenches?
The one on the left is a Master Buick bell housing wrench ca. 1931. One end is 3/4" and the other 5/8. The other i believe is a 1930 Buick "Block" bolt wrench. It's 5/8" so it's the same size and shape as the Chevy starter wrench but the Buick wrench has a longer handle.

Scored these P&C 100 wrenches at the flea market on Saturday. 5/8” and 11/16” combo wrenches. After I found 2 I kept digging through the pile of wrenches but didn’t find anymore. 0B8CE7F9-D083-4794-89DD-0338428D0768.jpeg

In the early 30's P&C sourced their DOE's from other manufacturers , apparently while they retooled their factory to bring their own flat shank wrenches up to the quality level of their round shank specialty socket and box end wrenches. I think I've posted the smaller one of these before, obviously a Vlchek W series type wrench. . I recently found this larger one where you can still see the "forged by Vlchek" underneath the the "drop forged". I probably should lay these out and take a pic with the P&C open ends made before and after these but I'm just too lazy right now.

Maybe "more common" than SW Florida, but seriously not common at all.
Part of the reason I also like their older tools, most of them I’ve never come across. That, and they made a lot of interesting pieces.
The early pre-Eagle "Outside Head" fork.
I did a search before posting and it took me to your your Milwaukee example
Cornwell style. (⌐■_■)
Funny how breaker bars have gone full circle.

Went to an incredible hoarder cleanout tool sale north Idaho this weekend; left literally many tons of stuff there; but threw a few P&C things into my buckets of Proto as I went; as I had grabbed a P&C box at the beginning. I posted them in classifieds; just picked them up to pass on at a good price as I don't have interest in them; but knew some here would.

Edit: Classified got deleted for posting more than one item, so go in with asian tool discards for recycling. Only reason got them was to pass them on here to someone who collects. The adjustable will go on ebay, it's easy ship.

I’m always looking for the ignition wrenches to fill up my tool board.
Nice haul!

What is this supposed to mean?


Not clear that was the case: they may have missed your price? (it was there however)

Classified rules:

1. All items for sale must be listed. All ads must have prices. Ads without prices will be deleted.

2. You are allowed to bump your ad once every 72 hours (3 days). If you bump your ad before that time period, it will be deleted.

3. Please only post tools, garage supplies, etc... that are relevant to the Garage Journal.

4. Please do not post links to other classified or auction sites.

5. Purchase items at your own risk. While we do our best to fight off scammers, we are not responsible for deals gone bad. However, if you find yourself getting worked over, please let us know - we will do our best to help you. **Buyers do not pay via PayPal gift**

6. Please combine your items into one thread as often as possible.
Not following this guideline could result in your F/S ads being deleted.

I'd find a way to keep them! It hurts hearing that good tools are going to the scrap heap. I've never looked at the classified ads - probably shouldn't. I found an early 3/8 Ell handle in my oil changing bucket the other day. I don't remember putting it there but it's in my P&C section now. I'd love to increase the size of that section, but I rarely see any in central Oregon.

A 2oz ball Pien. Looks just like a Paschall version, so after the Plomb acquisition I assume, and no use of the registration mark, so prior to 1954 I would think. Can anyone help me narrow it down?

I've found that P&C marked the ball pein hammers this way fairly often. Even larger ones that have plenty to room on the cheeks to put markings. Once you know where to look, you find more P&C's!

This wrench struck me as unusual and interesting. The old logo is the only marking on it. I looked through the available catalogs and didn’t see it.

1-1/8” open end, 3/8” female square end.

Early 3/8” drive specialty wrench or torque adapter? Square end for something else? Hoping someone can identify through different catalogs.

It looks to be one of those propane/ gas tank wrenches that were attached with a chain. Look up "skelgas wrench".
