Found this tool today while cleaning my shop. It says Sterling Petrel on one side and valve lifter on the other.
Is it a Model T era tool?
How would it be used and what for?

Sterling Petrel

Thanks Ed,
I found an ad for the engines in google books.
The ad said the motors came with a valve lifter and other special tools.

You place the beer bottle cap under the hook and pull up to release a most refreshing drink
