Description: This happens to exactly match the write up on the oldest known 3/4" socket made by Plomb. At some point during it's 95 year life it rolled through some glitter, I did not attempt to clean it, leaving that option to the buyer, but since it's bare steel it should come off without trouble. The write up from Alloy-Artifacts for this socket's duplicate: "an early 3/4-drive Plomb DDX25 1-9/16 socket, stamped "Los Angeles" with the PLOMB (Round-O) logo and a "9A" date code for 1929.The finish is polished steel, and the socket is decorated with five shallow grooves, a design feature used by Plomb for a number of years.This socket is an early example of Plomb's "deep" format, with a height of 2.9 inches to allow clearance for long bolts. Later production increased the height of the deep sockets to 3.5 inches, but this example shows that the deep format had an early beginning.The lower right inset shows the broached interior of the sockets. Chatter marks from the cold broaching operation are present on both the square drive opening as well as the service opening.With its date code for 1929, this socket is currently our earliest example of a 3/4-drive Plomb socket."
