1/4 Plomb speed wrench question

[moparthug]

Quick question for you Plomb experts, just picked up this 1/4 drive speed wrench model number 4780 with a date code of 9A. What year should 9A be?

   1939

Google collecting Plomb tools

BTW, that is a beautiful imprint on such a slender shank!

This was the entire haul from the estate sale, tagging everything that can be locked down with a maker and date. The 2 Snap-On Ferret speed wrenches are dated 1947, and a G code that seems to be a 1945 government stamp. A Fomoco transmission band adjustment tool for mid 60's Lincolns, a Blue Point valve spring clamp and a flywheel turner, a cadmium plated Lectrolite Tru Fit #3004 (1945?), a pair of pre '57 Vise Grips, Proto 252-A hose clamp plyers 1960's vintage with the Chevron grips, and a few more odds and ends like the mystery plyers that seem to be made in Poland.

A good haul!

Good for you that you labelled them now.

I always wait and have to look them up twice.

I have taken to labeling as I look them up the 2nd time 

too old soon, too late smart

I just plugged in the (1950's?) electric tire groover, upper right in the pic, and it works! Now eyeing the tires on my wife's truck...

I might reconsider trying on the wife's tires if I were you. Now I could be wrong by today's standards but tires used to be marked whether they were regroovable or not.

 play with an old junk tire. not safe with our modern tires.

Not to worry, I know better than to touch her tires. She was being nosey and looking over my shoulder when I typed that. It's all good.

Nice find and the way to save yourself time w/tags!   I think the Polish pliers came as a kit tool=sort of looks like a pair that I have from Mercedes??  I don't think that they came with a MB-probably like in a YUGO!
