Those wilde pliers feel great in the hand I keep a couple pair in my boxes.
Nice score.

 Don't recall seeing any Plomb with PWA in my travels but don't have any aircraft industry closeby. Nice finds and they weren't too heavy to carry.

I think PWA is Public Works Administration??? Could be Pacific Western Airlines.  I have not seen it marked on Plomb before.

It could be Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, I have a 3/8 Bonney ratchet with those markings.

 I was thinking Pratt & Whitney Aircraft from what I have read.
