P&C Stuff

[MR.X]

That is a cool logo.

Hi. Yeah, this has got to be one of my earliest P&C tools and maybe they were still working things out.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Must have been an early logo. Only have one from 20s stamped like that.

 

[MR.X]

I still haven't got around to cleaning this stuff but here's some of what I pulled at the PIR swap....the majority of the P&C is pre-tool # stuff including all the speeders and that early Chevy main bearing wrench. There's also a 5/8 female to 3/4 male adapter and a super hard to find early steel tubing sparkplug socket. The little puller is P&C related as that company is mentioned on a label from inside an early wood P&C socket box I have. The Blackhawk ratchet adapter was courtesy of Smokeshow69.

Glad to return the favor by finding a tool for you. I think you found about 20 for me. You have any more pictures of the label on that box? It’s really cool looking

Hey Smoke, if you go to Jerry Johnson's P&C website ...pnctools.com then click on blog-updates and scroll down it's pictured there.

Stormking posted the Thorsen TT/GT verion of this set in the "Post up your Thorsen Tools!" thread starting at post 1,148. I Recently acquired the P&C version. Looks like P&C started marketing these around 31 and it was still appearing in the No.42 price list. The super thick short extension came with the set when I bought it but it wasn't part of the original though I notice the Thorsen set had a longer bend on it's "L" breaker. I believe Stormking's set had a slightly different socket combination as well.

On an online auction was bidding on a nice S-K Wayne tool box and a couple of other boxes and a few tools I really didn't pay any attention to in the pictures but got a nice surprise when I went to pick it up after I won the bid.
P&C Tool co. no. 1921 24 inch aluminum level.

This cute little 1208-BS combo showed up in a thrift shop in Eastern Oregon. 1/4 British Standard or 3/16 Whitworth fasteners. Not much P&C around in the English sizes.

That’s not a real common one. Nice find. I know someone who has that tool board

 

[3baygarage]

Some great oldies Mr. X.

I'll send them a sympathy card.

 

[Smokeshow69]

I'll send them a sympathy card.

Oh totally. I already gave him 3 uncommon metric combos for the board. The empty spaces are going to take a while. I have the exact same board in Proto mfd era and it’s not easy to fill out either.

Oh my number is 564-202-4982

It is considered poor form , especially when new to join a thread simply to sell a common ratchet. Might want to look into eBay or perhaps post in the classifieds section sir .

@Novice Joe dude, you should remove your phone number while you can still edit your post. RIP your number…
Nice ratchet.

Thank you for the tip. I have many tools in my collection and stumbled on this site. Am excited to be here. Didn’t know how to put myself out there. Because p&c isn’t my brand of preferred tool I collect I thought, one of you would enjoy it. There will be more posts and a profile pic to come. I will be sure to try and have more etiquette.

 

[four.cycle]

^ There formerly was a rule here that prevented new users from posting anything in the "Classifieds" forum until they had a hundred posts.
That rule went out the window some time ago.

You might want to bookmark this link

and this one

both of which should help you to navigate the site easier, because it is definitely confusing for new people.

 

[jabberwoki]

That rule needs to come back.

Found a delightfully small 6" pipe wrench today at the Flea Market
Pictured with a bigger wrench for a size comparison
The logo is hard to read, but it sure looks like P&C.....

Some darn Wire-Wheel Warrior got to this teenie-weenie pipe wrench and brushed the heck out of it.
I wish the darn Flippers would leave these old tools alone!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

That's a p&c. Nice find!

 

[Provincial]

It's cute!

 

[Smokeshow69]

It's cute!

I have one that size that no one seems to want and it’s in better shape. Would you like me to put it in your pile?

 

[Provincial]

I have them down to 6 inch, and even the 8 inch is cute!

 

[four.cycle]

just an FYI. want to make sure you gentlemen are aware of these:

P&C Allen Hex Wrench Set 7-Piece Vintage USA | eBay

<p>P&C Allen Wrench Set 7-Piece Vintage USA. Unsure if they’re standard or metric assuming standard because of the age they came from the P&C/Proto plant in Milwaukie, Oregon along time ago. Some say P&C with a part number on the handle and the others have worn off. </p>

That didn't take long - was it a BIN?

 

[four.cycle]

it was, and they were gone before I got out of bed a couple hours ago. hopefully somebody here snagged 'em.

 

[c1504]

That was me. Thanks for the heads up four.cycle. Yeah that was kind of early in the morning. I was awake for work. I had never seen those before and the price was decent so it didn’t take long to decide I needed them

Those are not common. Nice grab!

 

[four.cycle]

^ they did look rather odd, and the price definitely wasn't too outrageous.. I figured they'd catch somebody's attention here.

This was in a carpenter’s box I found at a garage sale on Saturday.

Here's an interesting P&C hacksaw found at a hoarder estate sale in SE Portland. The name LOWBOY is cast into the other side of the handle.

This 1/4” drive ratchet came in a eBay lot. I was disappointed that the seller didn’t mention that it didn’t work but a little cleaning and lubrication go a long way. It now works perfectly. It came with a newer P&C socket.
