P&C Stuff

[Smokeshow69]

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.

That drive set is nice but I like the wrench roll even better!

You should post the Proto LA in the proto thread! I am sure alot of people would like to see it.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Nice p&c 100 set! Picked up a p&c Portland box for my 3/8 overflow stuff.

 

[jabberwoki]

Damn it Roy, that's a ****** lovely score.

 

[c1504]

Awesome finds Stormking. That roll is sweet!

OTG nice grab on the box. Has the outside been painted?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Yes and with a brush! Inside still original.

 

[Outlawmws]

Drooling over the bent breaker/spinner!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Thanks I have been meaning to try that thing on something!

 

[c1504]

That’s kind of what I thought with the paint. Still a nice box though. And 2x on what Outlaw said!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Might be able to wipe the offending layer of paint off with some thinner.

[jabberwoki]

Yeah and yeah . Whens it of mate?

 

[stormking]

BMW and I were discussing this the other day.... Don't know why they canceled it that early. I saw that Canby was canceled as well. Did you see that ?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I think more covid concerns

 

[RagTopTA]

A level

 

[Oldtuleguy]

There is a pic of it in 65 wood working catalog. It's a pipe cutter.

 

[RagTopTA]

It is indeed a pipe cutter! So they had pebble in the mid 60s?!?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I guess! Maybe superior made those.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

I would call it a selective design echo.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Look just like the superior 350

Maybe they'll see the error of their ways yet?

Interestingly, the Canby historical society is having its annual swap (non-automotive) this weekend. So, I don't know.

Here is my haul from the monthly local flea market Sunday.

6134 1/2 dr. 12-pt. deep socket
2726 13/16 combo
N-90 DBE 1-1/4 x 1-5/8
4001 puller set, 3 jaws, screw, and body
4042 battery terminal puller

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Those pullers are hard to come by

 

[Provincial]

Yes they are. I had to overcome my frugal nature to step up and buy it!

 

[Ricky Joe]

Probably made by Springfield. I have several sizes. Two more but harder to get to.

[p&c] is the only stamp on this little wrench. I found it in image #39 in this link https://pnctools.com/downloads/1931-33.pdf , which shows New Tools, dated Sept. 1, 1931. It is the smallest of three sizes with the 15 degree offset. B-1416-O 7/16" x 1/2". Does the lack of that information on the wrench suggest that this is an early example?

It is Milwaukie IE Not ee Oregon. The Plant stood on the N.E. Corner of 32nd ave. & SE Lewellyn st. in Milwaukie, Oregon. I grew up in Lebanon, Oregon and my Grand parents stated work at P & C during ww2. My Grand mother was the First Female to work in the plant. yes in the early 60s the plant was dirty and dark still had HARD packed dirt floors in part of it. The stock room part was all nice and New it is where they had all the finished product and fill orders for the customers. I do not have very many pictures of the place

I grew up in Gladstone and my father worked at the Milwaukee plant when Proto was owned by Ignisolrand then after it was bought out by Stanley. He was the plant manager when they closed the plant in cica 1987 after which we moved to Texas where he headed up the product engineering department. He retired about the time Stanley started moving all NHT production off shore. NHT = National Hand Tool, a division of Stanley.

I have quite a few Proto and Challenger tools. I remember my father telling me about the P&C connection but it was always a Proto plant when he worked there.

Looks pretty early

 

[Provincial]

The logos varied over the years, but as yet no one has come up with a connection between a particular logo style and a time period. The ampersand (&) is the thing htat varies the most, and probably because of artistic license by the diemaker.

 

[jabberwoki]

On C/L $35.

Even though I don’t live in P&C land like some people, I did find these two chisels at an estate sale yesterday. I don’t know why the end was ground on one.

[Provincial]

If the end is ground square, probably to remove a drain (pipe) plug with a hollow square recess. I've run into this before, but not with a chisel.
