Plomb Contract Stampings

 

This listing of Plomb tool stampings indicate that they were made under contract for another company or activity.  The most common is the WF stamping.  This interpretation of the stamping should not be considered 100% accurate, as the actual contracts are not available.  There are undoubtedly more examples.  Contract stampings normally precede the Plomb logo whereas the letters after the logo are believed to be factory identification but their meaning is unknown.  

 

Please contact us if you find a new contract stamping or learn the identity of an Unknown.
