Went to the steam up today and picked up this dual mark panel today #40B. Oregon Rock Crusher was nice enough to spot it and secure it prior to my arrival! It's had a rough life but its dual mark so I'm really happy to get it , especially at the paltry price I paid! As you can see it was a victim of the rebranding campaign at some point but the sticker has since came off over the years. ORC said the seller said when he put it into his barn it was in really nice shape but as you can see the years (or prior owner) haven't been the kindest but I know I can revive it quite a bit.

My difficult to find Plomb 1/2” drive ell handle arrived In the mail yesterday as part of a Plomb lot from an eBay seller. Here are all of the pieces in the lot.

The ell handle will be heading for my Plomb based GMTK. I believe there is a poorly struck 1940 date next to the Plomb marking. Less than ten examples of these have been found world wide. They have no part numbers and aren’t shown in any catalog. IMG_8944.jpegIMG_8946.jpeg
I was happy to see a dual marked 13/16” socket included with the other tools.

The 1 “ chrome plated socket wasn’t in bad condition. It was stamped with a BB mystery code.

I cleaned up the chrome plated 3040 DOE wrench with previous owners markings. The codes on this one looked to be a poorly struck AB.IMG_8950.jpeg

Two different styles of WF-38 ratchets were included. Any of the WF tools/pieces including the speeder are available for trade. IMG_8954.jpeg
Thanks to z281sc for the tip on the ell.

At long last my Plomb based GMTK has an authentic rare Plomb ell handle. It looks like it belongs there. IMG_9177.jpegIMG_9178.jpeg
