Hello,I have my late grandfathers wrench set from back in the 1950s.He was an elevator mechanic with Otis elevator in new york city.Well, as happens, a few of the wrenches are missing from this set.My father used to get so mad when I didn't put things back where they belonged-I may have lost them??
So,I am looking for 5/16,3/8,7/16 size Billings Vitalloy combination wrenches.I would like to find them in good useable shape that haven't been abused or dug out of dirt.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
I've looked on Ebay recently but the one or two on there look abused,neglected.Please help if you can,thank you,Ed

Hello and welcome to the site. I have a few Billings around here somewhere,but I know nothing about them in terms of how many different types or styles were made. If you could post a picture of what type you have that would help.Jim

Thanks for your reply gibsontool,
Since posting I have learned that there were probably no 3/8 and 5/16 in their combination lineup.But,I would still like to find a 7/16.
I have a pic of another in the series.The markings are the same(except the part no.) as the wrench I would like to find.In order to be the same time period it has a B inside a triangle.

Those are nice looking wrenches. I'm out at my cabin at the lake for a few more days and the wrenches are in the city. I'll check when I get it town, probably Sat or Sun.
