What's the 'V' shaped nick in the spoon part for?

It looks like a tire change tool for cars. The hammer end is a
knock-off for central wing nut hub attachment and the spoon for a tire
lever. Not knowing its size obscures its intent.

Although the auctioneers description does say 4in long. Sounds a bit
small for a car.

Knowing cyclists you would think it is a bottle opener. The only serious
suggestion i can make is a nailpuller

Dear T,

The notch baffles me, too. It seems like a bad idea.

Weakness isn't a problem with a steel spoon, but I'd be afraid that
the odd notch would tear up the tire, the tube, or even the rim.

Maybe it's a woodworking notch for smoothing splinters on wooden rims?

I still can't think of anything on a bicycle that I'd whack with a
Lilliputian 4-inch hammer.

At least it's not a claw hammer. Even our most hardened local bike
shop owners would probably raise their eyebrows if they saw someone
trying to pry a tire off a rim with a claw hammer.

Cheers,

Dear Stan,

Yes, it's a 4-inch hammer, as described in the auction. That's a
1-inch label in the photo. If you grabbed the handle, the head of that
miniature hammer would barely stick out of your hand.

Cheers,
