Tire spoons do generally have those curves and profiles.  I do think you are right on this one.

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.
