Judging just from the look and not from experience:
The dividers 1880 .. 1920
The caliper 1900 .. 1930

But then, hard to say and I might be well off! Manufactures kept a design

Manufacturers do indeed make the same tool for decades, even generations! I
have some watchmakers, and jewellers tools that were sold new in 1895. The
same firms were still making identical tools, right down to the markings in
1980, when I shut down the shop. I am the third owner of the tools!
