Plomb 1216 combination wrench "Warn Finish" (before & after)





Plomb made tools during WWII with a very utilitarian finish using slightly inferior materials.  The idea was to not waste any time, energy and materials on anything that wasn't utilitarian so that all resources can go towards the war effort...  Most of the Plomb tools from this era are marked "WF" for War Finish.  This is the only wrench that I have that is actually marked with the words "WAR FINISH."
