"For-A-Ford" wrenches - what are they for?

[Brad in Germany]

I was cleaning out a box of tools that I had salvaged from my father's garage and ran across this set of wrenches. All are marked "For-A-Ford".



Are they for a Model A? Any ideas?

Here is a close up of the logo where you can see that one end of the wrench is stamped "coil" and the other end is marked "plug". The other wrenches are stamped with the size of the wrench opening:


The back of the wrenches are stamped "Tempered Steel Wrench"

That second one from the top is weird. I wonder what it's for?

Maybe Brad can tell us, they are stamped/marked on them what they are used for, but I can not quite make that one out on the one with the teeth.

The toothed wrench is an alligator wrench. Fits any size head that will fit in its mouth.

My guess would be for a Model T. Back in the day, late teens early '20s, there was a lot more Model Ts on the road than any other car and they were just called Fords.
