Vintage Plomb 3/4 drive

[seagravedriver]

A friend of the family recently retired after working on heavy equipment. Having a soft spot for Vintage Plomb tools, I had always looked his set of Plomb 3/4 ratchets, breaker bar and almost complete set of sockets from 3/4 to 2&1/8. We came to a fair price. Gotta figure out where the box came from as well. More pics later.

Got to love it! Looks like everything is in great shape!

The one I got is a 5668, all round. The above was my first success at posting pics here. Do you know anything about Plomb toolboxes?

 

[Shelbylex]

Not much - the few ones which I saw on the board were different from the one you have. Look through the vintage PLOMB thread

Can you make few more pictures of your box? For some reason it reminds me of a smaller Blackhawk (at least the front)


My 3/4 set came in original box (missing few sockets there as well). Sorry, no top pictures yet - too dirty and rusty

P.S. Post your set on the PLOMB vintage board - somebody may recognize box as well.

I’ll take a look. It matches a Plomb on Etsy or something. I’ll try to post more pics, but posting as the OP was easy, adding, not so much.

Oh my! Thanks!

Macgee, we think alike - the link was above in the 4th post.

Seagravediver, you can make pictures of the box and also put them in the vintage toolboxes thread
