As far as I know, Plomb did not make a 4812S. Which makes Plomb a poor candidate for a late war GMTK midget set, which included an 8-point 3/8" socket (41-W-2972-640). Duro, S-K, SW, and Bonney all made "star" or "double-square" sockets in 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8.Gordon_M wrote:There is room in that box for a 4712S, ( 3/8" ) 8-point socket. The 4712S does not appear in the pre-war PLOMB catalogues, but does appear in the post-war PROTO catalogue. Can anyone tell me if PLOMB made a 4712S, prior to the PROTO name change?
As far as room goes, you have nine (9) sockets in that box. Plomb wartime midget sets (4000F, 4000R, and 4000B) all had different numbers and types of handles and extensions etc, but they all had the same sockets. There were ten (10).
Which do you have and which one are you missing?
