The Ford Barn

Wondering what this is. I found it in an area where my wife's cousin used to do a lot of work on cars. It is about 6 inches long. The large end is either 1' or 7?8". One end lookshuttool.jpg like a bottle opener.

It would be considered a multi-tool. It probably came as a tool kit item for some mechanical aperatus. The end has a slot spanner to fit nuts with slots instead of hex flats.

Torch wrench?

Could be any one of a thousand applications.The type of tool that came with the unit it is used on.I have something like that for the old Homart piston water pump.While yours is still an 8 point,for square plugs or nuts,it is open.Mine is closed for the priming plug.

Looks a little like a water pump tool, but not it,I don't think it's a ford tool either. https://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/T8501W.html
