Hand Tools - 3

Selection of PLOMB tools (company was based in Los Angeles -- Made in Los Angeles!).  The Plomb name stopped being used in the 50's (became Proto tools - still around and now owned by Stanley).

From a Honda Motorcycle Tool Kim

Made is USA

Pruning Shears (hand made & marked)

Can't read Chinese (Kanji).  Not clear if this is Japanese made (that would be my guess...)

Very Specific Purpose & Size Tool (pipe wrench...).
