Could this be somewhat remedied by dipping it in some clear casting resin or something?
I am more concerned with being able to use it versus trying to preserve it for collection. But it is really crumbling at the top; use will surely ruin it quick.

We are all waiting to hear who won the small but expensive pebble flex handle. At least it stayed under $100.00.

That would be me. The bid would have to have gone very high to outbid me.

I was going to bid 150, but not worth it to me... i think i should sell all my plomb and pocket the money... seeing how i will never get all the pieces...

The spirit is the hunt and the stories. If you do decide to sell let me know.

funny, I was watching it, even had a timer set on my cell. I said it will be mine. But for some reason, I didn't even bid on it.

I'm so glad you got it! couldn't have a better home!

I agree your Plomb should become my Plomb.

I agree. That flex handle belongs in Jim’s collection!
Has anyone run across an unmarked Plomb or Proto 1/2” drive speeder before? I found this in my Thorsen box but the handle looks to be from the Plomb empire. Here it is next to a 1/4” drive Proto speeder. My Plomb 1/2” drive speeder is shown in the next picture.
Merry Christmas everyone.

ALL: I need to ORGANIZE my flat file drawer of Plvmb better, but thought for Christmas I'd post an AS IS shot of some of my Plvmb. I have to get another drawer set up for the older Plvmb and the Proto LA and i'll show that later. if you'd like a close up or more pics just ask and i'll try to get some posted ASAP.

as some of you know the 1 inch Plvmb ratchet (BIG BERTHA) is 24 inches long and it fits nicely into my 48 inch wide Hamilton flat file drawer and it makes everything else look pretty small.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my PLVMB friends!!

Olson: good eye!! yep i've got a few interesting tools that I also put in this drawer with my Plvmb JUST BECAUSE I thought they were cool

this one has no name on it and it is some sort of scraper you can put in your palm. I hope the Plvmb guys on the thread don't mind me posting up a few pics and I'll remove this post if some of the regulars ask me to.

since you asked here's a couple pictures. also before you or anybody ask the tool to the left of it with the aluminum and red handle I think is a Miller's Falls.

Don't mind at all. It's a cool piece none the less. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome collection Drives!! I have one of the red handles drill/drivers also. Mine is P&C.

I add to my Plomb collection pretty much every weekend, which explains how I have some 700+ pieces now, but I only post the more unusual stuff normally. This is one of the the things I picked up, a pair of "Pick Up Pliers" from about 1928-29.

 

[RagTopTA]

those are really cool Mustang! Never seen a pair of those before!

That is cool. I have to ask. Is that 700 unique pieces or 700 with dupes?

Looking for the following Plomb Pebbles Wrenches 3061, 3070,

There are about 150 dupes, mostly sockets. Some dupes are variations of the same number, like pebble, rope band, etc.

I'll have to dig it out, but I have a '41 dated 1" drive ratchet and a few 1" drive sockets, including a 5812 3½" socket. The socket and ratchet combo weighs about 27-28 lbs iirc.

Drive tool or war club?

That's cool. Do you have any the early 7/8" "Z" Series Big Bertha's? I have only seen a few but always looking to drool over some.

I thought maybe you needed some icebreakers. To get down to the foot of snow you need to shovel!

I wish! I've seen a couple, but stupid money was the price. But I'm always looking for anything weird and unusual I don't have.

Mostly ice and about 4" of snow is all. They were talking up to 16" for a while.

I picked up a set years ago for dirt cheap but they are different then ones I have seen. Mine do not include the ball dedents or sizes. Each just has a number such as 5 or 7. I can grab some pics but has anyone seen anything like that before and could shed some light.

I picked up a partial set on eBay with enough stuff to allow me to put together another 1/4" kit. This one is all chrome.

 

[d42jeep]

Nice! Looks like just postwar. Cool set. Username has a similar set in a slightly more recent box. Here is a picture of his.

Found my first Plomb Metric. Yes that is right a metric plomb. Didn't know they existed but here it is.

Looking for the following Plomb Pebbles Wrenches 3061, 3070,

Any more pictures of the metric wrench ? That is so rare! I found a set of metric proto la doe’s in the roll earlier this year and those where fairly rare but this blows the rarity out of the water. I am thinking this may be the only plvmb marked metric tool on this thread ?

Picked up this great old PLOMB roller from my deceased neighbor. The bottom lift door is a bit janky but the drawers and rollers work as new, it’s a great piece.

It is definitely Wright Aeronautical. I have the same one but made by Bonney.
