Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

Don,
Would this one be of any interest to you? I don't collect DOE's so you would be welcome to it.

I would be happy to take that one off your hands.
-Don

Its yours. I sent you a PM to confirm I still have the right address.

The nice wrench arrived from RubiconJK and will be added to the Chrome plated Plomb tool storage box.
Thanks again!
-Don

How about a 5283 30" speeder! Sorry for the background as it washes in. Didn't have a spot picked out for it.

Wall o' tools may not be the best way to highlight an individual tool....

Hellava collection!

[four.cycle]

a couple pieces found in a box I picked up the other day...


Plomb 86 1/2" cold chisel
Plomb 5416 1/2" dr x 1/2" 12-pt shallow socket

 

[Mintgrun]

I repaired a couple of toolmobile rollers today, by making some friction-fit stainless-steel sleeves on the lathe.

They roll a bit better now. This old box saw a LOT of use over the years.

 

[r_olson_06]

How about some old Studebaker Tools.
Top is a brake wrench
Bottom is a main bearing wrench I believe.

 

[z28lsc]

I found 2 more pieces to the dual mark collection. 8183 offset wrench and 5424 socket.

That is another tough one.

Some recent plomb la

 

[r_olson_06]

Acquired these splendid Whitworth spanners from across the pond, old chaps.

 

[d42jeep]

Here are some still in the UK, owned by my colleague in Wales. I wouldn’t be surprised if these were early lend-lease tools with no part numbers.

I came across this pebble era heavy duty puller set. Given the condition, it appears that it was barely used. The good news is that it will see some regular use around here.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Scored a box of 3/8 WF today during some horse trading!

 

[r_olson_06]

That case is in amazing shape!

Yea, I was shocked to see that it retains almost every bit of crinkle paint on the exterior. Some basic and gentle cleaning will make it look brand new. Even the factory finish remains on a good portion of the puller arms. Very light rust clean up will be done on them as I use each pair.

Newly acquired 1/4 drive extension # 4760

[r_olson_06]

How about some centennial wrenches or very near. This includes some "Garage Series" and some A.L.A.M. sizes. If you have not heard of ALAM I learned about it from this forum. Worth a read on the "Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers".

 

[r_olson_06]

A few more added to the wall.
A K4WB Angled Wrench
A 5460 2.5" x 1/2" LA Extension
A 5655 5/8" x 3/8" LA a Adapter
A 8mm x 9mm Dually Metric Wrench

I picked up this Firestone 3/8" Drive Set last month; first time I have found a complete (as far as I can tell) set. In the past it was just a piece or two. Really nice condition except the crinkle paint on the case is falling off.

On a recent pick, I found this Plomb 4800 Midget Set 9/32”-drive box and when I opened it, it had all the original contents shown. My heart started beating hard enough that I had to plan how to exit the pick quickly before anyone heard it!

Oh my. The 48XXs are hard to come by to start with but int he original packaging. Nicely done!

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Great find, Fred!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Nice grab!

 

[d42jeep]

A couple of dual marked additions. The 1” combo is spending some time in the evaporust.

[Etchase]

I don’t know the significance of the circle. Help needed. 9/32 anvil on this one.

 

[d42jeep]

It may be totally unrelated but I seem to recall that the Plomb made ratchets sold in 1/4” drive Craftsman sets had a circle.
Here is my 1“ dual marked combo.

Plomb was U in a circle.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

There were some generic plomb ratchets sears sold mid 40s

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

Well, GRX, here are some pix. I'm embarrassed to show mine next to your beautifully maintained sets. But I've found each of these one at a time, quickly rinsed off surface dust and dirt so they aren't so messy to handle, and dumped them in my PLOMB bin. Many of them need some TLC to get them looking good again. But even then, there are no complete sets of anything here.

But I promised some photos, so here goes:

First, some ratchets, sockets, and drive tools:






Following are 3/8" drive sockets:


Following are 1/2" drive sockets:


Following is photo of my universals and swivel sockets...two of the universals are 1/2" drive, and the rest are 3/8":


Next is a group shot of most of my Plomb wrenches:


Here is a close-up of the bigger ones:


Like I said, they all need some clean-up attention:






Finally, this last photo shows my Plomb pipe wrench, and my Plomb adjustable wrench:


There are probably more, in the boxes and bins of tools I have not yet sorted by brand name. But these are most of what I have for right now.

That’s a lovely collection makes my one item a poor showing will post a picture if it tomorrow!

Is that where that one originated?


You think maybe it originally came in a Craftsman set?
This one arrived in an Oxwall set, believe it or not.
