Interesting bar

[royce]

Marked St Pierre Worcester Mass USA
It has a fork on one end and a slight serrated heel on the other.
The ends are forged, jumped onto 5/8" hex stock.
Found out that it was made by St Pierre chain corporation, founded in 1920.
They were a chain manufacturer, who in 1928 branched out into automotive tools.

The forked end reminds me of bars used for flopping I beams, but I don't believe it was made for that purpose.
Anybody have any thoughts on its intended use?

Could be a grease bar for getting in between leaf springs to grease. I know there are St Pierre tire chain pliers, so may be along the lines of automotive. Neat find.

Found a good explanation with photos.
