Jimmy,

Those pistons were originally for certain Caterpillar engines produced around 1939, but will probably fit a broad range of Caterpillar engines with the same bore size and used in many different tractors, marine engines, electric sets and more. It would be good to post more pictures of the different sides of the pistons, and be prepared to answer questions and provide measurements, so prospective buyers can decide if they will work in their application.
Caterpillar parts were often upgraded and the part numbers could sometimes be shown to cross, or be usable in other applications, but sometimes the parts may not show a cross in the book and need to be compared side by side to parts they may replace.

Here is a little reading on the same or similar parts.

Thank you Josh for the must needed advice and the links. I actually spent a few hours last night reading through some of these forums. So now I have an approximate date, kind of what they could go in And an understanding on how to advertise a little better. When you say "measurements" what are the important factors? I'm sure the diameter, and height are key but what else do I need to measure that's important? Also from your experience about how much does a single one of these pistons go for with the rings included? Does selling them as a set do anything for the price? Are they a rare find?
Thanks again so much Josh!
Jimmy
