I thimk (sic) it is for opening and closing (with a latch) transom windows. If I'm right it needs to be long and light.
Unlike this picture ( https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transom+w...6e/5d/5d/6e5d5d216363d1884af2019b45a1f6e3.jpg ) I have only seen them in old office buildings.

That is an extension tool for adjusting the transom window above a door. This could easily be over 100 years old.
That definitely might be it!

That handle looks to have been shortened. Back in the old days they had those gas lights up high they would need to light with a pole. Indoors and outdoors. I would assume that threaded hole was for something that held a flame source.

Its to light gas lamps... on the streets.... THAT hole thing... holds the "ember/wick" the hook is used to open the glass door.

That’s what I thought. Remember seeing them used in a historic walk someplace.
