I've found two of these at two different times and places. I should know what they are, but I just can't come up with it. The 3rd pic is one with no advertisement. They both are copper with loops like a pendant.
 
Does a fingernail tool slide out of it ?
 
Key Fob and it seems like there was a little address/phone number book that slid in and out of the unit. :shrug:
 
It appears to be related to the Diamond Core-Testco Inc. company located in Tyler Texas. It is a private company categorized under Servicing Oil and Gas Wells. The number on the back "LY3-3458" is there telephone number 593-3458. Not sure exactly what it is.
 
Knife sharpener??? Blade slides through the end slot??? Diamond hone???


HH,
 
That's exactly what it reminds me of Dave IL. Thanks for the info E-TRAC-Virginia. It looks a lot like a flat marine emergency whistle.
 
Looks like a pull tab tool .Gave away to promote oil field drilling tools. Saves finger nails when your lady opened your beer,handy on your key chain when you want to drink and drive.I remember the old days in Texas when you could legally drink beer while driving .
 
And those old days only ended about six years ago, and a lot of folks still don't seem to know it.
 
It's not a whistle because I tried it and it didn't work. Can someone find a pic of a pull tab opener like this? I haven't seen anything like it yet on the www.
 
I think its a pen knife. Seems I saw these when I was a kid. A small knife blade was inside and held with a catch in the small slot. Depressing the catch allowed the blade to be pulled out and then it would be turned around and snapped back into the holder for use. A lot of times the catch would get loose and the blade was lost. Advertisers used them for cheap givaways. neat find.
 
If the company is still in business, send them an Email or call. I bet someone there would know... :shrug:
 
I say give the Company a Call...
