What was Plomb and was P&C?
Everything is P&C except for the ratchet.
What was Plomb and was P&C?
Can't wait to see the pictures of the set cleaned up.
So.... I was wondering if I helped or hurt by posting the Marketplace ad? I wouldn't have posted an eBay auction in case a member was already bidding.
But figured a Marketplace listing that wasn't brand new might have been overlooked. It certainly stirred more interest that I imagined it would!


I had been overlooking this cross bar that I wound up with in a purchase of several 1/4" Plomb tools until you showed the pic of yours and it reminded me to take a second look. Glad to know that this can be added to my 47XX set as unique piece number 27.



Thanks to Dewayne I am inching closer to a full set DBEs LA. I ended up with an 1126 and also the shorter 6502 with the 4pt instead of 8 pt.

Thanks Smoke!Damon- in my opinion you did just fine! You saw something related to this thread and since you were not going to buy it you alerted others that may have had interest!
Those 1/2 swivels were only made in a few sizes. Not real common.
Nice Dewayne.Congrats on those Roy. Here are a few ignition wrenches and a little 3018 DOE found recently. The 3210 and 3216 are marked War Finish. I have several War Finish marked Plomb tools, but think that these are the first pieces this small I've found.
Well done Dan. Good to see you posting on the board. I need to reorganize again to get all the wrench generations together again. Didn't know about a line of DOEs I have to allot room for.I reorganized some stuff today and got most of my plomb stuff into one place. I moved the extras elsewhere and filled up this sk box with plomb. I also put my pebble combos up on the wall. Ways to go before I catch up with r_olsen though.
Now I know why I am having such a rough time finding them. I only have maybe a couple total so that explains a lot.

Dang. Post them up. Any of the 7000 series sockets are rare. I think you are right. I think there is 6 on a set. I will do some digging tonight.I have a set of those 1/2 swivels. Think theres 5 or 6 of them. I tried to find them but my Pile-O-Plomb is pretty crazy atm.
Nice Dan,Got a mail call yesterday with a few new plomb empire ratchets. This brings my count of unique plomb family 1/4” ratchets up to 23. A Penens p-10 with the wf style head, and a p&c 0246 with the wf style handle.

View attachment 1Thanks. I know I’m missing a 4748 and the p&c that looks like a 4749 with the knurled handle. Plus I think there’s a fleet ratchet with the wf head and a proto version of the wf 8. I’m sure there’s enough variations out there to keep me searching forever...
I’d love to see what you all have for oddball plomb empire 1/4 inchers. I’ll get a new family photo up soon.
