My estate sales finds for today

Hit a sale that they email when they're gonna have one. And they are usually spot on about letting me know if there are any tools to be had. Here's some of what I found.

I've become a fan of the parrot head pliers.
These don't have a brand stamping, but a Pat Pend number of 1866771. Haven't been able to find out much other than the issue date was early 30's. Could these be that old?

Hey what's up with that top yellow handle driver? I never saw that pattern before, like, ever. Some kind of weird one, that is.  Cool!
    Is that a little round shank early Plomb ratchet?

I'm drooling here

It's a standard shank Bet-R-Grip driver where someone turned down the handle to a more spherical shape for grip. At 25 cents apiece, I figured both were worth grabbing. The shank on that big one is perfect. Just need a good handle to swap it into.
According to AA, that round handle Plomb appears to be a late 30's - early 40's style.
