I have these in my collection of T tools would anyone have an idea of when they were used in the tool kit.

Looks like part of a kit which came with a T or an A. Note the screwdriver on one handle.

That’s typical p/n 1902 Pliers, Ford trademark on inside handle began late 1920, in 1921 handle with screwdriver tip changed to 6 3/4” L from 6 1/2”. Late ‘21 changed again to 6 5/8” L.

After June 1922 Ford trademark placed on outside of handle.

Above from Record of Changes for the T-1902.

Thanks for the info. , so the earliest they could be is 1920 or so?

For what it’s worth I used a pair of pliers like that growing up on our farm and working on different types of equipment. We had boxes of tools and when needing a pair of pliers I found another pair to use. I soon found out the screwdriver end on that pair of pliers would bite into your hand when using them on tight bolts or nuts.
They are a neat Ford tool collector item to be sure but to me not the best designed pliers for gripping or turning. They were a general use tool for occasional use and probably good for cotter pin removal in the hubs.
