Is that a Starrett Plumb Bob? Filled or solid steel?

[Yadda]

Wow!  Good eye! I didn't realize it was a Starrett until I did a little cleaning.  It is a Starrett  No. 87. It isn't solid.

Hello , Yadda . The drive plugs in the Hinsdale box are a great find! Are they marked?

[Lewill2]

If it is an 87, it should be mercury filled unless somebody emptied it. If you shake it you should be able to feel the mercury moving inside. I think the hex top ones were later production, so they didn't roll when you set them down.

Great find. Should produce some fine restorations, If you have the time.

Hello , Yadda . The drive plugs in the Hinsdale box are a great find! Are they marked?

The 1/2 drive is marked "Made in U.S.A." . The 3/8 plug isn't marked. The Ratchet on the far left was also included, but was made in China so it was original.to the set.  I believe I have a Hinsdale Plug style ratchet.  Now I need to find it.
