Reply:It's old. Plomb started marking their tools Proto following a 1946 trademark dispute with Fayette R. Plumb, Inc., that made hammers and. punches.http://alloy-artifacts.org/plomb-tool.html
Reply:If you look at the link that Forhire posted under specialty tools, there is a similar wrist pin tool pictured there with a different top. Check out the numbers and that should give you an indication of date. Sounds like they were for Ford Model A and B engines.250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
