Can anyone ID these tools. There is no Ford logo on them.
They were in a box of wrenches that I purchased.

I can't speak to the top one, but the bottom is a pair of upholstery pliers.

The top one may be an exhaust flange nut wrench.

I guess I should have added some dimensions. The top tool is only about 4.5" long and the opening
is about 1 3/8". It might not even be for a car. I have attached a cropped version to show the letters and part number.

The bottom tool is a horse shoe nail set. After the nails are driven through the hoof and are sticking out, the nail is cut off and those pliers bend the remainder of the nail over, then the hammer part finishes setting the nail end in the hoof.

Hey Bill,
I have a friend that does just that so I think I will get a hold of him to see if
he is interested in the tool. Thanks for the info.

It is a common tool called a Cobblers Plier for making shoes.

Could the first one be a wheel hub spanner? It looks like it says Continental 25254C, maybe Continental Tyres?

There is a Continental Tire plant right here in Barnesville.
I will check with them to see if any one can ID it.

Thanks,
Bill

Continental also makes aircraft engines although I can't guess what that wrench would fit.

.. and Tractor engines too, such as Ferguson TO-20.

It looks like this thread has come to an end and had nothing to do with a Model T.
I sent a photo of the first tool to the local Continental Tire Plant and they contacted an older employee
who confirmed it is a cousin of the the tool in the photo I added. It was a specialty tool used in tight spots and
"around corners". Thanks for the input.
