Alloy Steel" Marking. Utica began using alloy steel for pliers sometime around 1930, around the same time that its competitors Crescent Tools and Diamond Calk Horseshoe also adopted alloy steel. Utica added an "Alloy Steel" marking to its pliers for a period of time, probably from early the 1930s to early 1940s. Currently we do not know of any examples of the alloy marking with the later "Utica Tools" marking style, suggesting a cutoff date of late 1943.
