Guess this tool!
 

Found this in a box of assorted bicycle parts at Trexlertown a couple of weeks ago. Neither the seller or myself know what it was used for or even if it’s bicycle related. Box had among other miscellany a cottered crank set. Any guesses?

No idea, but I'd love to know as well.

Probably obvious, but I should mention that the "hook" end swivels

Stuck seat post remover?

Some sort of bearing removal tool for BB or headset?

o.O Stab in the dark, a cotter pin remover of some sort?

A rim tool?

some kind or seal or bearing puller would be my guess.

Perhaps some kind of tire jack?

Should have included this in the OP....13 inches long, hook about 4.5, and no markings of any kind

BB tool.... for the lockring (?)

Spoke nipple puller.

Lemon seeder ?

also looks like part of a kick stand

Carelessly misplaced terminator arm?

That's one heck of a beer bottle opener. :thumb:

Definitely a tire jack of the sort that would not disintegrate mounting a Schwalbe Marathon Plus.

Ass hatchet saddle extractor.....?

Something chain related?

Would that put a dimple in a chainstay?

Apparently, it's the ultimate multi-tool.

I've come back to this a few times and thought about it. I don't think it is a bike tool. But it would be a brooks rivet puller.

Well my guess is it a saddle stecher designed for horse saddles that could be used for leather brooks styles bike saddles.

I'm guessing a headset puller, as well.

Tire changing tool for the Model T Ford.
Cable stretcher used on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Back scratcher?

Activation rod for a neural neutralizer.

What puzzles me is that I don't believe it is home made (handle is stamped not machined) yet no maker's marks!

Valve spring compressor?

I'm going with this one, for the moment anyway.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Is the length adjustable, and is there a way to mount the other end on an axle?

No axle mount....not length adjustable

paperweight/conversation piece.
