      Looking at the 5 sided socket and the hook end I think it maybe a manhole cover key and lifter. Just a wild guess.

      If not a manhole tool, I'd guess maybe for some variety of large valve. (water company, refinery, or etc.) The 5-sided 'socket' is the most unusual aspect of it for me, I'm not sure whether I've ever seen (or at least recognized) something like that either...? Thanks for sharing and welcome to CW -- I hope someone comes up with an answer!! :-)

      The only thing I've seen these fit are the covers for water meters.

      I wondered about fire hydrants too, but the one I now have has a square fitting for the wrench to open it. I kinda thought most are square, but could certainly be wrong with that???
