Came home today with some nice stuff: four big Plomb Pebble box end wrenches, two older Plomb single head tappet wrenches--and one Proto LA , a little Plomb Pebble open end, a Proto brass hammer No. 1430, and a nice little Proto 1/4 drive ratchet. Is $10 too much for that haul?
http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/Smileys/popos/grin.gifBut what I want to ask about is the numbering system on the Plomb Pebble box ends. Here is what I got:
1137 Made in U.S.A 11/16 by 25/32
1141 Made in U.S.A 7/8 by 1 1/16
1140 MFD U.S.A. 13/16 by 7/8
1145 MFD U.S.A. 15/16 by 1
I know there is a tangle of sizes within and between the Made's and the MFD's, and AA does not try to sort it all out. For example, I see that two of the MFD,s have one end with a 7/8 opening: No. 1136 and 1140. Both the 1131 and the 1135 have a 3/4 opening and both the 1141 and 1147 have a 1 1/16 opening.
I am sure that some of you fellows collect the Pebbles and have noticed this; have any of you figured it out?
