Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

[tym]

You guys may remember my Custom Plomb Contraption hammer. I cut up a wrench to make the shank. But,I kept the other parts for an up comming CPC. We ended up using it today for the son in laws smoker project. Made a latch with it and a cream seperator wrench. Came out pretty cool. so I found that I had a Plomb paint gun!!! Ok maybe not really Plomb but It does have a pebble backfield just like Plomb Pebble!

I picked these Craftsman badged circle u 1/2” sockets and extension off the bay. Cadmium plated from 7/16 to 1”. I had the speed wrench and ratchet. I still need to find a hinge handle, universal, short extension and also the carry clamshell box. If any has one, feel free to hit me up!

I have absolutely no need for this but it was too cool to pass up. It's unused and in near mint condition.

That's only the 3rd matchbook cover I've seen in 7 years of Plomb collecting, good score. Considering that they were meant to be tossed when used up, it's amazing any survive.
I have 2 in my Plomb collection.

There was a grand auto parts in the town I grew up in as well! They also were a full service show as well. It was in an old grocery store so it was a pretty large store!

So I picked this up about a month ago, a circa '37-'39 9990 tool chest. It's got it's original finish and original decals, plus a vintage oil change decal from a long defunct Pontiac dealership in Detroit. The hinges for the tray that lifts need a little tweaking, but not a big repair. The biggest issue, the seller had wiped the whole thing down with WD40. I've been trying to figure how to remove it while not changing the original finish.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Great find. Mild soap and water should not hurt it. I would avoid anything too harsh.

 

[Rileysan]

These showed up on my local Craigslist, today, so I had to have them.

Nice grab. Is that 2010 for something specific?

Well done sir. Alot of Plomb oddity goodness there.That short extension is a tough one to find. I am still looking for one. Nice find.

RT those drawings are AWESOME relics of the Plvmb/Proto history.

J-Z you have the hard to find parts of the 3/4 set! Very cool!

Thanks guys. I'm still new to Plomb collecting, and only have a few other odds and ends. I didn't realize the rarity of the extensions, but I since usually only come across wrenches, I knew it wasn't something that I should pass up. Especially in 3/4

 

[r_olson_06]

Some big iron. A 3062 DOE. These wrenches are insanely thick.

I don't check out the General Tool forum here on GJ but once every few months. This morning I saw a new thread over there about a "giant Plomb wrench". Here is a link to a post in that thread showing the largest Plomb wrench I've ever seen.

Wow! I guess that only goes to show that we will never truly know what all is out there!!

I don't have a cool book of matches, and until today I didn't have a Plomb box to hold any of my Plomb goodness.
This guy needs a repaint back to green, but I finally found one here in the midwest.

Great find! Looks pretty good, even still has the decal.

Isn't that the truth. For a tool company that hasn't produced a tool in nearly 70 years we are still finding new discoveries. That is what makes the hunt so fun. Can't wait to get back out there and rummage through a rusty pile iron.

Were the matches in any of them? - Lots of MB collectors pull the staples and ditch the "fire hazard"

Nice Don,
Glad to see it was picked up by a GJer. I was saving money for those Allen sockets but geez they went for way more than expected. I wonder who picked them up? Maybe Ragz or Tin?

Roy,
I checked the bid history. I actually outbid the buyer who had outbid you. I felt better about it because if you had been the high bidder I wouldn’t have wanted to bid. This one doesn’t have the removable plug but the one my tool collecting buddy in the U.K. owns does.

No worries. I wasn't super attached to it. I did own one that I sold off before I collected Plomb. Can't wait to get back to some real picking.

Allen sockets

?? Are you referring to the special sockets they made in 1/4-inch drive size with male socket head cap and set screw (i.e., hex) bits?

 

[bmwrd0]

Yes, there was a set of them in original box on eBay that went for over 200$. Here is a shot from the auction.

Thanks, Roy. Those are, in an overused word, awesome. I can easily see that going for $200. Especially in the original box with that embossed lid. Wow.
