Default Off topic - interesting old tool

My father-in-law recently gave me a collection of old tools that were once used by my wife's grandfather to maintain his cars (which at one point included a model A.) In addition to the usual assortment of common wrenches, pliers, and screwdrivers there was the combination wrench shown in the picture.

It is marked Walden Worcester Tomahawk, patented 1918. The "T" part has 1/2" and 5/8" sockets at the opposite ends, while there is an additional 5/8" socket at the end of the handle. Did this wrench have a specific purpose, or is it just an early "speed" wrench?

Never saw one quite like it, but have had one close to the style only newer and galvanized with a standard screwdriver on the handle instead of the socket. Thinking now was for a early Honda motorbike and also for a chainsaw.
