Looking at the rivet I don’t think it’s old but that plain logo doesn’t show up on their dating chart

From a 2013 contest to find the oldest Klein side cutters. Yours may be too recent to have a date code (post-1971)

Anyone know who one this, or what the oldest pair was? I jus came across a set marked "1-16" January 1916

The contest winning pliers was mine from 1904. The second oldest was from 1907. I still grab every vintage Klein pliers I come across; since the contest I have not seen anything older than the 1916 pair described above.
