Original Ford wrench question

I've got a couple original Model A combo wrenches and not sure what is their typical on-car usage.

One has a 15/16" open end and the other has a 1-3/16" open end.

Any thoughts?
 
Posting the Ford part #'s and pics would help.
Here's a picture of a Model A wrench, the Model T wrench is similar except the spark plug end is 7/8".

Thanks, Katy....I've got 2 of the 1-3/16" box with open end on opposing side. One has either a 6 or a 9 cast into it and the Ford script. The other has a 55 cast into it and no Ford script, but otherwise identical.

The smaller 15/16" has a 2 cast into it with a cast Ford script.

All look similar in style to the pic you posted.

Yes, I need to learn how to post pics from my phone onto posts here :(
 
The double open end wrench you describe is not a Model "A" standard tool kit item. Itmay be a service tool. Post a picture of the wrench.
 
There are many wrenches out there that are not model A. ford sold the toolkit with the cars all the way I believe into the mid 40s also the ford tractors had their own sets of wrenches too.
