Walden-Worcester, Plomb,,

Was really excited when I found these and thought they’d be really rare...they aren’t. Oh well, still a good few hours of hunting and didn’t pay hardly anything for all of these things.

I haven’t seen a Plomb pickle fork before. That may be a GMTK toolbox. Can we get some more pictures, inside and out?

Well now I don’t know how to add photos to the ones available to post...maybe later, fixing a fuel line for a customer now...
It worked this morning but now doesn’t..?.

Don called it. Made by Union Chest. Looks like somebody painted over the OD green with robins egg blue.

What does the data plate on that luber say?

Neat stuff. I have seen the pickle forks but not many.

The forks I have seen on line have same number but the flattened handle with the pebble finish.

Could be that is an earlier one.

I’m not gonna hold my breath, but I WAS wearing my lucky shirt....

I have an Alemite just like it with Ordnance Dept markings, linked here. Your is same timeframe. Late 30's or early 40's.

Lugs: I started a thread about the luber last night, but it died silently.(?). Anyway, I have found no reference to a series A. Most have the top secured with latches, and are series D. On this one the top seam is soldered , so to service it you loosen the thumb screws and unlock the pump body and lift it out....kinda better because if it falls over -(it will), the grease can’t spill out around the top seam.

Interesting.

Interesting.

There’s one on Worthpoint with the same top arrangement, but I’m not a member and can’t dig into it further. Their age estimate of things on that site seem like guesses to me, so I’m skeptical.

Sweet finds. I like those t-handle type with the socket on them from any brand because you don’t have to worry about the socket falling off lol. But great finds too. I haven’t been lucky enough to find many Plomb or Walden Worcester. I find more of the Stevens T Walden stuff though. I have a little bit of each too.

According to this website, that is a 1942 logo/manufacture stamp:

WorthPoint is not a content provider. It's just a massive media scraper and database. All the descriptions of the items they are listing a value for are taken verbatim from the source of the auction, predominantly eBay.

That Lincoln was patented in 1938.

So true about WorthPoint, but it is good for pictures and a starting point. Many times the suggested similar pictures shown at the bottom of the page will lead me to yet another example of what I am trying to identify.

As with all things on the web, never trust just one or ten examples. Trust nothing and verify everything.

I thank you very much for the very good help. You guys are the greatest in your field. Hats Off, Bowdown, all of that! I will probably frame the t-wrench, send the pickle fork to Lugs, clean parts in the Westinghouse roaster, use the Lincoln for its intended purpose, and display the oil can....good times [emoji106]
