Plomb Tool Company began business in 1907 in Los Angeles. The small blacksmith shop grew top become one of the industry’s most innovative tool manufacturers. Plomb tools were well integrated into the growth of automobile manufacture and maintenance. In 1946, a contentious trademark issue was resolved, more or less, by Plomb becoming PROTO; PROfessional TOols.One event that benefited Plomb was receiving a substantial contract for tools during World War II. After the War, Proto was able to use the expanded manufacturing capacity to boost domestic production. Tools produced under the military contract were identified with the prefix “WF” in their style numbers probably for Wright Field, the location of the organization responsible for receiving and distributing tools during the War. This WF-101 Wrench is one of those tools.The Wrench is in good condition. There is an etched-in “WF” on the handle (see images), whether this identifies a previous owner or Wright Field is unknown. The etching does not compromise the quality of the Wrench. which shows no other obvious flaws.We will ship the Wrench by USPS 1st Class mail on the next regular business day following receipt of payment.
