✅ SOLVED Small old tool - Tee handle

[mojjax]

Can't figure this one out . As you can see it has 2 different ends on the tee handle - the sharp end is slightly offset . I thought it might be a wine bottle opener , but the shaft gets to thick . I thought maybe a dental tool - my girlfriend says no - she's been working in a dental office for 35 years .

it has worn markings - I think I see '' EMB..B SGDP ''

I think maybe a tool for working with leather. The hook may be for pulling leather laces through the the leather. Nice find.

It kind of looks like a boot hook.

Seems to be a fancy buttonhook? Possibly specialized for a cobbler or boot maker?

 

[mojjax]

the curve tip is sharp like a razor....

A tuning hammer I would guess.
The mark I think has SGDG, a French “patented” mark

Was able to find a little info about such items. Here's one good example:


" Those who are not corkscrew collectors probably wouldn't recognise this item as a corkscrew. While this item would usually be referred to as a cork puller or non-worm cork extractor, its purpose is the same; to remove the cork from a wine bottle. This is the T shaped variant of Eugene Adrien Mestre's French Patent No. 99986 granted October 14, 1874. To remove a cork, slide the curved end down the side of the cork then twist to grip the bottom of the cork while still in the bottle. "

Good ID! Looking at the beginning portion of the mark I’d guess may be EM, for Eugene Mestre. Then the B after was originally Bte (Brevete, abbreviated).
