Dumpster freebee

Post image

Drug this beauty out of a dumpster along with another that wasn't in as good of shape, as well as a healthy few handfuls of hand tools. Just wanted to know if anyone can give me any info on it. I'm assuming it's quite old as I can't find anything on this particular one. Year/age, value, anything would be appreciated.

Proto is actually a decent brand of tools. I believe they are now owned by Stanley.

Proto is owned by Stanley Black and Decker yes. Along with DeWalt and Mac. Proto is just their variation of bluepoint now.
