Proto 1216 combination wrench (marked "Los Angeles")





Sometime in the 1950s, Plomb had to change it's name to Proto, due to a trademark fight with a tool company called "Plumb" who were well known for their hammers.  Plomb lost & had to change it's name...

Has "pebble finish" just around the size markings.  A remnant of the days when Proto was Plomb and they had pebble finish all through the middle of the wrench.
