What is this?

What is this? My grandfather worked for the phone company and was an amateur radio ham. Maybe some kind of wire stripper. But it also is a bottle opener.

That's neat. It looks like an advertising promo item/multi tool is what it is. Not sure but, maybe those two wheels are a wire stripper like you said. Could the little wheel be a glass cutter? The V side an alligator wrench. The other end a tack/nail puller.

yeah... looks like a "multi-tool" that was given away as a promo item:
alligator wrench, glass cutter, tack puller, saw, bottle opener, screwdriver, ruler, and I'm guessing the two wheels are a knife sharpener and the half-round tapered cut-out at the other end is the wire stripper.

Google is your friend:

Design for a multi-tool incorporating screwdriver, opener, rule, alligator wrench, knife sharpener, tack lifter, and glass cutter -- the tool was distributed as an advertising specialty.

I don't know how joe_padavano came up with that, but you can use Google to search by image.

you can search patent by name, patent by date, patent by company, patent by patent number.

That's an option, and sometimes works. In Chrome, you can add the Extension "Search by Image (by Google)", which lets you right-click on an image, and search for similar images.

Unfortunately, when I did that with the OP's picture, I didn't find anything close to correct.

Thanks much!!

I typed electra voice corp multi tool into Google.

Note that this is a design patent, not an invention patent.

Does that extension do something other than Chrome's built-in functionality of right-click and "Search Google for image" ??

That's the one. I guess it's installed by default now.
