Picked this one up yesterday and cannot figure it out.
Plomb (round O) Los Angeles
Part number: DSP 15
Size: 15/16" hexagon
Date code: 7A (1927)
1/2" drive
2 3/4" tall / 1 5/16" diameter
No other markings: bands, grooves, ropes; nothing but sweet patina.
I get the 15; it stands for 15/16". What does the DSP indicate? And, was it a half dollar well spent?
Mine is similar to this one from AA, except for the DSP mark, the fact that mine is hex, and that mine is much taller.
