Need tool I.D. please...

My first thought was a kickstart leg from an old motor bike. But, then its a Proto. I was cleaning up and found this in the mud behind an old bulding.
Can somebody tell me what it is , and what it's for??
Thanks...

100% its a drum brake tool. The small end you put the spring on the post and the large end you get the spring off the post.

Now THAT'S funny! I was watching my father in law struggle with a job, I forget now just what it was, as I was watching I said " You know I have a tool just for that." I thought his eyes would pop out of his head!
