Plomb 1 1/8" combination wrench value?

[atlm]

Can anyone tell me the value of this Plomb 1 1/8" combination wrench? I've had it for a very long time, but have never used it and am thinking of selling or trading it.

The last 2 pictures are the Plomb next to my older v series Craftsman 1 1/8". The Plomb dwarfs the Craftsman.

Looks like it has some engraving which is going to knock the price down by half for most people. Here's my Plomb 1 1/8 box wrench that I picked up this summer for $3. Do you have a better pic of the lettering?

My guess would be in the $12-15 range.

Thanks! I'll probably post it here along with a few other of my extra wrenches and see what happens.

You would be extremely lucky to get 12-15 out of it.

The pebbled wrenches are much more valuable. Any engraving or damage hurts the value considerably.

Because of it's size you should be able to get anywhere from 3 to 7 or 8 bucks. I think the engraving will hold it back from selling for more.

Also, if you plan on selling on ebay or the classifieds you have to figure the shipping cost in. I guessing it will be at least $5 for shipping which will hurt the ability to sell on the net.
I've seen regular Plomb wrenches listed for months and month that won't sell because the demand does not appear to be there for them.

I know that the pebble plombs are more valuable but I think that the plain Jane wrenches are prettier. They have nice simple lines complimented the cool plomb logo.

let me know if you are looking to get rid of it. I have been looking for a plomb 1 1/8 double end for a while now...

...which is a shame, but true. I was going to peg it well under $10. For some reason those early 40s vintage Plomb just don't fetch much. If it were older (30s) or later (45-48) it would have a collector base. BUT, the post above mine reminds us that the price is entirely dependent on a particular seller and buyer!

No you don't! You just think you do. If you happen to have a pebble in your possession, it actually belongs to ME. Return it to its rightful Angelino owner!

I bought a 1, 1 1/8, 1 7/16, I want to say a 1 1/4 from the same dude at the swap meet. I got three smaller ones for $15. The guy finally figured out that they were worth something. About 2 months later I got the 1 7/16 and a 1/2 drive ratchet for $30 plus a plomb socket. All pebble too! All in vary decent shape too!
