I'd say it is for adjusting typewriter keys or relays in an old telephone exchange.

Bicycle/motorcycle spoke wrench?

Post by: maintenance 6 on March 24, 2016, 02:19:05 PM: We had a tool that looked sort of like that to unhook the clips in a splined ceiling panel system. You'd slide the tool between the tiles, hook the spline clip and slide it back to drop a tile out.
