Tire spoons do generally have those curves and profiles.  I do think you are right on this one.
The only bad tool is the one that couldn't finish the job.  Ironicly it may be the best tool for the next job.

The function is now solved, but anyone know how old this thing is.  I certainly couldn't get a modern era tire bean anywhere with this tool and it's a bit big for a bicycle rim..... No markings on it at all

I'm betting it's from before the tubeless tire days.

I'm with M_, before tubeless tire days and probably something heavier.

  I would guess Earl the local blacksmith in the mid 20's as the maker more than a big name company.  It resembles a lot of the current locally made stuff I will see here.  Retired cars generally donate the steel.
