I have a couple random Proto tools, but I'm more interested in Plomb which is what Proto used to be called until the late 1940s. Old Plomb tools are relatively common out on the west coast (since they were made in Los Angeles) but are hard to find here in the midwest.



I do have a 1954 Proto catalog as well.

I think you meant Blue Point is the lower priced line of Snap On...they still are.
