Wiper arm removal tool ....goes under Mac Tools Z402 also.

According to the all-knowing Google.

goes under Mac Tools Z402 also.

I'm a little confused.

i'll take a flyer and say that it's a latch handle for an antique icebox, fridge or reefer door of some type.

1964 Vulcan tool catalog from "The Internet Archive." I found no such tool, tho. There are some "WW" prefixes in the front end/ suspension section, so some sort of wheel weight tool might be a good guess

Looks like a wheel weight remover tool. I believe I’ve seen long ago.

I'm with the wheel weight thingy. I remember as a kid seeing the Vulcan name for tire stuff.

WWT= Wheel Weight Tool.

I think it's a wiper arm removal tool.

Possibly used on Vulcan spaceships, but I can't verify that.
