What is this tool?

I read an article at Collector's Weekly that I thought might interest folks here on the forum.

Help, what is this tool? | Collectors Weekly

Essentially, they're trying to identify an antique tool. There are several guesses, but so far no one has stepped up to say "this is it".

Come on, Ford fans. Let's solve this!

Actually if you notice the plier end is used to clamp your wifes shut while the spear end gently pierces your ice cold beverage. Way before pull tabs of course
