Description: This tool is rare as to it socket size, it a 9/32” very rare!!! WF Series Tools. The USA Period also included the production of a separate line of Plomb tools, the WF series (for "Wright Field") produced for a large government contract. These tools are easy to identify by the "WF" prefix in their part numbers; the tools will have a "PLVMB" logo but not always a "Made in U.S.A." marking. The WF tools were produced from 1942 through 1945. Another marking peculiar to the USA Period was the notation "War Finish" (not to be confused with "WF") to indicate that some aspect of the tool's material or workmanship had been compromised. If this notation indicated a shortage of materials (or labor), it might be thought to have been more prevalent during the last years of the war, and so suggests a manufacture date of 1944-1945. The markings are "Made in U.S.A." with a "CC" code next to "War Finish", as shown in the inset. The finish is plain steel. One other oddity in markings, apparently peculiar to the USA Period, was brought to our attention by a sharp-eyed reader. The PLVMB logo used by Plomb is generally flanked by arrowheads on either end, both pointing down to match the inverted "V". (Some would say these are really plumb bobs, added to irritate the Plumb tool company.) But on some tools made during the USA Period, one of the arrowheads has been marked pointing up instead of down. Based on an unscientific sample, this marking oddity is uncommon but not actually rare, and appears to occur more frequently in the WF-series tools. The meaning of these markings, if any, is not known at this point; perhaps it was just a setup error on the marking machine.
