I'm not giving up, but I'm putting it in the "I don't have the time right now" pile.  The best I can figure is some sort of tool to work the window or lock mechanism in the door of an auto from atop.  Either way - I'm grabbing it next time why wife locks her keys in the car - looks handy.

It is probably a trim tool for detatching interior panels in an auto. I havn't seen that exact shape, but I have seen somewhat similar ones. (They are for getting behind the push clips that hold the plastic panels on).
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

The "tabs" go the wrong way to be for jimmying door locks.

I agree with trim tool. It's too short for a jimmy and I've never seen one with a handle.
All my taste is in my tools.

I believe this is for removing the stainless steel trim used on cars pre-1970.  They had spring clips hidden behind the trim, pushed thru holes drilled in the sheet metal.   Back before trim was put on with double sided tape.  Body mans friend.
