Meter-Box-Curb-Tool

It appears to be a plumbing tool.

More info on Ford Meter Box - http://www.fordmeterbox.com/

Interesting also that these tools have been sold on eeek-bay as "Model T Ford" valve lifter tools.

The tip that something was wrong - the five point lug pattern.

Great search, I knew that something just didn't look kosher.
Here's a PDF link to the covers that the tool is used on.
