what is it?
« on: August 25, 2012, 09:20:07 AM »
made by THE KEYES DAVIS CO. Battle creek Mich. & marked on the other side SPOUTO Patent# 2620557
5 1/2" long, 3/4" wide with a 1 1/4" button on top, and a sharp pointed prong in front
with a handle that looks like it pulls something away from the end tip.
so what is it used for?

 According to the patent it opens the can and forms a pouring spout.

Once upon a time, they made really kewl state of the art gadgets for the kitchen....

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I like that, is it for sale
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

I emailed THE KEYES DAVIS CO. asking for info in this, they replied:
they still it, 3 for $21.00 + $6 S&H.

Hi Jerry,
 
I have attached our SPOUTO Brochure. We still sell these 3 for $21.00 plus $6.00 shipping.
 
Thanks for asking,
