That's a pretty rockin' Plomb 1/2" socket toolbox.
  Unless its in worse shape where I can't see it.

  If you look close I believe you will see it says Plomb and not Plumb.
  I believe this is a post lawsuit box.

      Wherein Mr Plumb of Los Angeles, was enjoined from using his own 
name on his tools,
  by a certain Mr Plumb of legendary back east ax fame, for several 
generations already.

   Everything was hunky dory until Mr Plumb of Los Angeles started 
offering axes and hammers, in addition to his fine line of ratchets and 
sockets.  Mr Plumb of famous ax antiquity didn't care for that.
   Mr Plumb of Los Angeles had no chance in court.

  Thereby creating the Plomb brand.
   And later the Proto brand.
       yours Scott
