I have about 400 tools made by P&C, but i really don't collect them. I am putting together a collection of ratchets made by the Plomb / Proto tool empire. I also like New Britain tools. Like Plomb / Proto they made lots of tools for other companys.

Post by: Kevinb on January 04, 2015, 08:25:02 PM: I collect things that are odd or very rair...
This is an example. I've had this antique DC welder posted different places on the net as maybe the oldest DC electric welder.
No one has come up with one older...

I also build tools. I'm building an ironworker now.

Welcome to the asylum here.

Use the Image button in the second line of icons above the text box. It will place IMG tags for you to paste the image url within.
