It appears before and after the Model A, Ford placed part numbers on tools. Does any one know the company's reasoning for lack of numbers during this time?

Also, most Model A tools had markings indicating the tool manufacturer, but not the Ford script.
However, many pliers were marked Ford script, in a variety of sizes and locations.
IMO 98% of Ford script tools are either Model T, or later V8.
Also, most Model T tools did not have applied part numbers either.
The bottom of tire air pump cast bases is one part that usually carries a T or A part number.
By the time of the early V8s, Ford began applying part numbers to tools, especially spark plug wrenches, because there were more and more different varieties of things for dealer stockmen to keep track of and be able to distinguish with certainty.
Tools and their part numbers are identified and illustrated in the back of the Ford Parts Price Lists, as well as the RG&JS.Last edited by Guest; 02-11-2018, 08:27 PM.

Ford removed the "FORD" script on most Model A parts for "exporting" purposes sometime in 1928 I think.
Does anyone know just what the reasoning was behind this action?
Was it due to taxes?
Who knows?
