I'm trying to find out some info on a tool, someone told me that it
might be for bicycles so I thought that I would ask here. It's number

Looks to me like a combination headset/pedal tool. I actually have one
with the same function, but this one is much older. The small end should
be 15mm, and the large is probably 32mm, if I'm right.

IIRC, I think it resembles a wrench I saw on the tool board of about a
1930 American-LaFrance fire engine. Note the drag link bit in the
small end, though; that doesn't look right for the type of
application. The right-angle open end appears to be designed to
handle square nuts and square-head bolts, so it could be from a whole
bunch of pre-WWII venues including railroading. The crescent-shaped
end has very short flats, which makes me wonder what it really would
have been used for, outside of snugging the lockring on a large hose
fitting or R&R of a weather cap.

It's actually a 2 oz scale for drug dealers, who's customers don't
know the metric system. See their parents were right when the told the
kids to pay attention in school. Now their losing ~4 grams on each oz
they buy.

Thanks for the reply, the tool that I have is 3/8" on the small end
and 13/16" on the other, so it's not the exact same as yours.
