Barcalo wrenchs looking to buy or trade

[gibsontool]

I have several of these wrenches in different sizes.I borrowed this picture  from Alloy Artifact as I don't have any of mine with me. I am trying to find out how many and what sizes make up a set and to get one of each size. I have the following:

2- 7/8 x 25/32
5- 3/4 x 5/8
3- 11/16 x 19/32
1- 9/16 x 1/2
1-  1/2 x 7/16
1- 13/32 x 5/16
 I am interested in buying or trading until I have a complete set.I have lots of different tools for trade material so let me know what your looking for and maybe we can work something out. This example says western auto stores which none of mine do,all of mine just say Barcalo. Thanks, Jim

I know for sure that there is the 7/16" x 3/8" size, as I am holding one while typing this.
Mine is unused,parkerized/black oxidized.

Sound like your a lucky guy to have one in new condition, all of mine are used,some more used than others But, what does parkerized mean? does yours say western auto parts or just Barcalo? The ones I have sound similar in terms of finish.Any chance you want to part with yours? Let me know. Thanks, Jim

I have a stack of these laying around somewhere, that I hoped to assemble into a set. If I have any you don't, you are welcome to them.

Parkerized means  finished with a parkerized finish. Google parkerization
My wrench only says Barcalo-Buffalo.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I've been on the road for a bit,I'm not sure what the Vlchek WBE or WB series that you are looking for actually look like but if you can show me an example I'll dig thru my stuff and see if I have any and maybe we can work a trade . I'll be on the road again for about 3 or 4 days so I'll check back when I get settled in at home. Jim

[lucakiki]

I will snap a picture of the wrench. Do not worry it is not going anywhere.
We will find something to trade: my needs change by the day.

[gibsontool]

sounds good, let me know what you need when you have time. Jim

[keykeeper]

Gibsontool,

I'll try to round up all of the wrenches I have like these this evening and see what I have that you need for a set.

If you go to this link http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/vlchek-story-p2.html , the ones I mentioned are all pictured near the end of the page.

[gibsontool]

Aaron. This is a full list of the Vlchek that I have
 1- W1214
 1-W1820
 1- 67
 1-1A1442
 1-W2022
 1-94
 1-31
 1-W2426
 1-WBH2628
  Let me know if there is anything you like. Jim

[lucakiki]

Here are two of them, identical, snapped together to show the two sides.

Right now one thing I  would really need is a 28-S Barcalo Buffalo with " raised oval pad" style.
This is the style:



If anyone has that 28-s ( not the chrome molybdenum version!) please let me know.

EDITED: I  do not need that 28-s Barcalo any more...

[gibsontool]

I have a fair amount of misc wrenches at my place in town which I will check next time I am there,if my memory serves me correctly I have some similar to what your looking for. I'm at the lake now and the best Ling Cod fishing is just before the ice goes off so depending on the weather I may be here for a few day.

[lucakiki]

I have mailed the wrench to your Canada address.
Here is my idea: when you receive it,and only then, just send whatever you feel like as a contribution to the Papawswrench site.
No need to tell me how much. Deal?

[gibsontool]

You have a deal. That's is a very  good idea. Best regards Jim

Jim,
Here are a few Barcalo's from my weekend bonanza. Don't know if they are of interest or not.





I'll do it like Lucakiki did and price them at a donation to Papaw's wrench plus postage to Portland in a small flat rate box.
