What is this Spring Tool Thing?

[Greeneman215]

I found this in the ground digging for bottles near an old sharecropper house.
Anyone have any idea what it is?

I believe you have a tool that lifts the "burner eye" off of an old cookstove. Yours is a bit different than I've seen before, and I think it's handmade. Very cool!

looks like a removable handle for cooking pots or pans, similar to a stove shaker handle. The spring is so heat transfer will not burn the person handling it.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-ARC...661644?hash=item488e657f0c:g:PvUAAOSwcvdXPH14

Awesome! Thank you both very much!!
I found a Crescent stove eye cover in the same area.

Looks like part of a emergency brake cable off an automobile.
