Um... yeah, every on-line search just assumes I left the "p" off the end of the word Dunlo and tries to steer me towards anything and everything named Dunlop. 10 inches long, with an interesting hook on the bottom about 3/4 of an inch across. Tack and harness tool? Any ideas?

I'll guess paint can opener
Maybe there was a Dunlo paint co?

Hello, My first thought was bearing scraper, but that hook did not work for me. Second guess is some sort of farrier's tool? Here is a little info on Dunlo, Pennsylvania. Regards, Lou

 with the dull looking ends, I am thinking of a tire removal tool.

Me too.

It almost looks like it could be used to pack oakum into cast iron soil pipe prior to lead.  Or backer rod prior to caulking control joints in masonry.  Third choice could be a rodder for tuckpointing mortar joints, but the 3/4" width is against that.

Not a brake adjuster?  Maybe the hook is for pulling brake springs - although I'm not sure how that would work.

Add me to the tire tool list

so could be a misprint? or Dunlop said no?
a quick search of Dunlop tire tool  found these #1 so leads me to think #2 might be the same use

I think you got it. It must be a Dunlop with the "P" missing for some reason. The Dunlop #1 looks waaaayyyy to similar to my #2. I'm convinced it's an early tire tool, THANKS everyone!
