Small tool with a wrench and a 6-pointed star at the other end

[Iron Buzz]

Found in a farm field in Minnesota where an 1865 homesite once stood. Obviously, it has been bent but I don't dare try to straighten it.

I stated "If it is for a wheel nut" I couldn't find a bike wheel wrench with that type of nut either, that was main reason I said "If" and I really doubt any wrenches from that era would have a star opening. It just seems more modern.

Yeah, sorry... I realized tonight that I quoted the wrong message when I wrote that.

What about an old fishing reel wrench?

This reminds me of the early slip over nut fasteners where the backside is not accessible to hold the Nut in place. These were phased out with rivet held fasteners and welded nuts.....just a thought could have come off early farm equipment.

Looks like a pocket door wrench
