Can anyone fill me in on the Penens and Plomb (the "o" is actually a triangle). I have never heard of either.

Hi HBhound,

Wow what a cool find!!!!! Try typing in ALLOY ARTIFACTS and this web site will get give you the information you are looking for; (sorry my computer skills are lacking).

I have looked for some of your ratchets for years without any luck and in one day you hit the jackpot way to go!!!

Welcome to the club.

Penes were part of Proto and Plomb became Proto in the 1940's or 50's.

Wanna sell that Plomb ratchet? In the long run it would save you $$$

don't sell the plomb, they are scrap iron. send it to me for proper disposal. don 18 will never be happy and it will just be a problem. i will even cover shipping.

Thanks for the info.
I think I better hang on to them for now. I'd hate to send anyone some old worthless tools and run the risk of making an enemy

I'll post more pics as I go through the pile.

Nice score... How many $$'s do you have in your score? You need to learn how to rub it in around here. LOL

$150, but that included some power tools and other stuff. I hope to have more pics tomorrow of the other hand tools. I'm sure I can sell the power tools, tool boxes and cheap china stuff and have less then $50 total invested. I already have someone wanting to buy one of the tool boxes for $50 so I'm doing pretty good right now and may even get to keep the good stuff and make a few bucks.

I apologize if this is a common abbreviation on this forum, but what is "BIL"?
BTW, an absolutely excellent all around score!

First thing that comes to my mind is BIL = Brother In Law

Nice set of vintage ratchets.

 

[sr20det]
