Corner store flea market finds
« on: October 19, 2013, 07:41:37 PM »
Stopped in at a little store in town today. Spent $5 - $3 for the adjustable wrench. Diamalloy 6" - I like these, they are light and strong. This one got cleaned with a little brass wire brush and went right into my bicycle tool kit. A Bonney 1122H long combination wrench 11/16" 6 point. After I took the picture I cleaned the snap ring pliers and found they are also Bonney - #B21.
How old are these Bonney tools? The wrench has date code K:O.
Thanks. Al.

First letter is month. "K"  = November
Second letter is year. "O" = either 1923, 1937, or 1951.

Since the combo wrench looks like the Streamline style, AA would place it in 1951.
