P&C Stuff

[Oldtuleguy]

I have seen a 3/8 version. A guy had 2 of them. Was kicking myself later for not buying them.

oh that's right. They did make them in 3/8....just not a 1/2.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I have not seen one.... but you never know!

I found a long wood handled screwdriver yesterday that had a Plomb or Proto look about it so I grabbed it along with a P&C rusty center punch. I finally got enough rust removed from the screwdriver to see the maker.

Nice clean up Don!

 

[Provincial]

Oregon exporting rust again!

Nice clean up Don!

Thanks. That 3M wheel does a great job.

Very nice, hope it works out for you. Out of the brands I look for P&C seems to be the hardest to find. Been looking for a tool box for awhile and not even had a sniff and I only live about five miles from where the factory was.

Spotted the 3/8 version of the paddle ratchet on ebay recently

Couple P&C related items from a K.R. Wilson heavy lot I picked up at a farm auction recently. Besides the clean P&C socket there's a radiator filler nozzle I believe from a company partially named after P&C & Thorsen's "tool & die maker" Pete E. Mortensen (PEM of PEM-Co ). The Snap-On 5/8" drive piece fits perfectly in my P&C 5/8" drive female ratchet...I figure if I can't find an original P&C drive piece I could do worse than a similar era Snap-On one.

Agreed. One could do much worse than an era correct snappy Hopefully you will post the rest of the lot you purchased at that sale here soon?

These were among some tools that an old friend dropped off this morning.

A 1948 adjustable I grabbed last week

 

[Mintgrun]

1272 end nippers. Does anyone know when they added the (R)egistered trademark?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Around 54 I think

 

[Outlawmws]

Finds from Friday:

1/2" socket set (the 15/16 is a different brand, (I have 2 others but may not have the "100" on it)



And the wrenches, I DO have a 3/4 to more fill the set with "100" on it - The adjustable does NOT have the 100 on it.:

 

[Old Radar]

I happened to have found a P+C 100 socket (1/2d, 5/8") but am unfamiliar with the "100" series. Can you supply, or point me to where I may find, more info about them?

Thanks

 

[Outlawmws]

Its just marked on them:

I suspect this was near the end of P&C?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Marketing scheme very late in the game for p&c. Very nice tools!

 

[jabberwoki]

Yeah a last effort . They are my fav of all the P&C tools.

 

[3baygarage]

Very nice sets there Outlaw!

With all the adjustable wrenches on this page, can anyone tell me about this P&C Trustworthy wrench?

 

[bmwrd0]

Its just marked on them:

In a moment of serendipity, I have two boxes with very faded and washed-out versions of that label, and I had never been able to make heads or tails of them. Well, now I know!

 

[bmwrd0]

Went down to the shop to get pics of the two boxes, but could only find one right now. Oh well.

Anyhow, here are some of the mother and child:

 

[c1504]

Did the quality go down hill at all in the 100 era?

 

[Smokeshow69]

Did the quality go down hill at all in the 100 era?

I would say no, but I only have wrenches and sockets of the 100 era...They are physically identical to their proto brothers for the most part. However I have seen some that the finishing work isnt as nice...so depending on the examples you compare, either case could be made...or maybe it just depended on who was on QC that day

 

[Ricky Joe]

PowrKraft had 100 series wrenches. I had surmised that they were Thorsen, but, maybe P&C?

 

[d42jeep]

They were sourced from Barcalo.

[jabberwoki]

The 100`s i have are first rate quality.

 

[Ricky Joe]

They were sourced from Barcalo.
-Don

Mine are double open end. That box end gives it away as BarcaLounger.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Yup that little dish is a giveaway

Had to go a ways out of town today for work. I always stop at small antique stores to take a break from driving. Usually they only have cut glass and doilies. Today they had something a little different. On a shelf setting between tea cups and cut glass was this thing. Appears to be an NOS early 30's 3/4" ell with the positive lock on it. The positive lock system is somewhat hard to find. You never know what you're going to find out hunting.

Wow, what a find.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

That is a rare one

 

[d42jeep]

A few P&C pieces found on Saturday.

[d42jeep]

I found this screwdriver on Saturday.
-Don

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Nice screwdriver!

 

[Username already in use]

Nice screwdriver!

 

[Provincial]

Very nice!

 

[d42jeep]

Thanks, guys. I guess the seller didn’t recognize the brand when he put the $2.00 price tag on it.

I found a little P&C 100 at a sale. The 3/8" drive set is an upgrade for me. Seems a fair amount of this has showed up lately.
