Its usually Plombs that follow me home, but this Bonney looked nice and old...Its a DBE labeled 2805L on on side and ZENEL?  on the other?   Is this a keeper?? Bonneyman??  Anyone??

Always looking for Stanley planes and parts, Mossberg and Plomb wrenches.

I have the newer, full polish style from when Bonney was owned by Triangle Tools. Same number, though.

I'd keep it. 1/2" x 9/16" is a good pair to have, and the decent offset works in alot of places.

Yup, keeper, Zenel was Bonney's early alloy steel brand, good steel too...
(Don't assume it is missing chrome, some were sans chrome...)

And as bonneyman says, the offset is nice on those, I have  certain bonney's and some short Indestro's just because of the deep offset's...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I have partial sets of the later Bonneys, both metric and SAE and would rather use them than the SO versions I have.

If you ever find a spare long DBE 13mm x 15mm in 12 pt, I have a home for it.

I'd need to find two as I need one also. LOL
